Installation
Windows
You can get installers or portable builds from the [releases section](https://github.com/unmojang/FjordLauncher/releases/latest), MSVC builds are recommended over MinGW builds but there's no real difference.

To install Fjord Launcher from Scoop:
First run `scoop bucket add TechPro424 https://github.com/TechPro424/scoop-bucket` to add the bucket to your system.
Then run `scoop install TechPro424/fjordlauncher`.
Linux
You can get the launcher as an AppImage, a Flatpak or a portable binary from the [releases section](https://github.com/unmojang/FjordLauncher/releases/latest).
