Before You Install

You first will need to install Java 16 or above. You can see if you have Java installed by opening a terminal (Command Prompt on Windows) and typing this command:

java -version

If the version says 16 or something higher, you have Java installed and can continue.

Missing Java

If it says something about unknown command, you do not have Java installed or your path is not set correctly!

Windows

Head here and download the latest release (make sure "Temurin 16" is selected!)

Run the installer and make sure to enable "Set JAVA_HOME variable" and "JavaSoft (Orable) registry keys."

Linux

Most distros will have Java installed. Because there are many different distros, you will want to find out how to install Java for your specific distro.

Installing

Head over to the releases page and download the latest version. For Windows users, download the exe file. For Linux users, download the tar.gz file.

Windows

Create a new folder somewhere on your PC. It does not matter where. After downloading, move the exe file to the new folder you created. From there, run the program! You are all set to go.

Linux

Open up a terminal and run this command:

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperdefined/CustomLauncherRewrite/master/linux/installer.sh | bash

This will run in the installer, which will take care of everything. After you run it, you are all set! You should see CustomLauncherRewrite on your desktop's application list. Simply run it!

Migrating

After installing the launcher, head over to Migration to copy over screenshots, settings, and resource packs from the official launcher!
