-Once the installer process is done, close the Fabric Installer.
+Select the ''Client'' tab. Select the ''Minecraft Version'' and  the ''Loader Version''. Usually there is no need to change the loader version, the latest one will work in any Minecraft version.

-==== STEP 2: Edit the "Game Directory" of the new Fabric Installation ====
-Create a folder to use as "Game Directory" for the Fabric "Installation" you just created, for example:
+Close the "Succesfully installed" dialog box.
-''C:\MC-FABRIC-1.14.2''
+{{:player:tutorials:install_mcl:windows:04.jpg?direct|}}
-Open the Minecraft launcher, click on ''Minecraft Java Edition'', click on ''Installations'', click on the ''...'' button of the Fabric Installation:
+Close the Fabric Installer.

-Click on ''Edit''
+**DO NOT RUN YOUR NEWLY CREATED FABRIC INSTALLATION YET!**
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_vanilla_launcher_04.jpg?direct|}}
-Change the ''GAME DIRECTORY'' to point to the folder you created, different from ''<Use default directory>''
+----
+==== STEP 2 (OPTIONAL): Edit the "Game Directory" of the new Fabric Installation ====
-Do not use a preexisting folder inside the default ''.minecraft'' folder the launcher uses.
+This step is optional. If you don't change the GAME DIRECTORY the Fabric Installation will share its saved worlds with all the other Installations that have the game directory set to default. It will also share the mods and config folder with other modded Installations you may have that have the game directory set to default, potentially making everything an absolute mess.
-Click ''Save''
+You may set the GAME DIRECTORY to any folder you want, but it may be a good idea to use a folder inside your user profile for example:
-{{:wiki:install_fabric_using_vanilla_launcher_05.jpg?direct|}}
+userprofile\.minecraft-installations\mynewfabricinstallation
-You can now launch the Fabric Installation.
+Where userprofile is the path of the actual location of your userprofile, usually C:\Users\yourusername
-----
+Where yourusername is your actual user name, not the text yourusername, for example James or Anna or MadMax.
-==== NOTES ====
+You will have to manually create this folder to use as "Game Directory" for the Fabric "Installation" you just created.
-If you don't change the ''GAME DIRECTORY'' the Fabric Installation will share its saved worlds with all the other Installations that have the game directory set to default. It will also share the mods and config folder with other modded Installations you may have that have the game directory set to default, making things an absolute mess.
+Open the Minecraft launcher, click on ''Minecraft Java Edition'', click on ''Installations'', click on the ''...'' button of the Fabric Installation, Click on ''Edit'':
-You may set the ''GAME DIRECTORY'' to any folder you want, but it may be a good idea to use a folder inside your user profile for example:
+{{:player:tutorials:install_mcl:windows:launcher01.jpg?direct|}}
-''userprofile\minecraft-installations\fabric-1.14.2'' for a MC 1.14.2 Fabric Installation
+Change the ''GAME DIRECTORY'' to point to the folder you created, different from ''<Use default directory>'', click ''Save''
-Where ''userprofile'' is the path of the actual location of your userprofile, usually ''C:\Users\yourusername''
