-For macOS or Linux [you need Java](https://adoptium.net/) to run the Fabric Installer.
-
-1. Download and install [Fabric Loader](https://fabricmc.net/use/) **version 0.14.21**
-   * Older versions of the modpack - 1.12.3, 2.7.3 and 3.14.1 require the use of Fabric Loader 0.14.12 instead.
-   * Remember that the _installer version_ doesn't matter, what matters is the _loader version_ that appears when you run the installer.
-2. Download some mods manually as needed:
-   * **FO 5.1.0+**: Download [Sodium](https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium/version/mc1.20-0.4.10)
-   * **FO 4.11.0**: Download [Sodium](https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium/version/mc1.19.4-0.4.10)

-5. Click the topmost version, scroll down to "Additional files" section
-6. Click `⋮` → `Download file` on the latest **MultiMC version**
-   * If you see less than 10 mods in the zip, you downloaded the wrong version.  
-7. Open the zip file, go to _Fabulously Optimized x.x.x_ > _minecraft_
-8. Copy **all folders** from zip's _minecraft_ folder to your _.minecraft_ folder; if asked - replace the files
-9. **FO 4.11.0+**: Copy downloaded mod JAR(s) to _mods_ folder
-10. It is highly recommended to delete `options.txt` as well to get [FO default settings](changed-options.md)
-    * Your vanilla options like selected resource packs, language, keybinds will be reset but you can reapply them later.
-    * If you choose not to do this, it is recommended to at least enable bundled resource packs manually.
