Installation

Windows

You can get installers or portable builds from the releases section, MSVC builds are recommended over MinGW builds but there's no real difference.

If you prefer Scoop over traditional methods of installing Windows programs, TechPro424 maintains a Scoop bucket that provides Fjord Launcher.

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.

Alternatively, Fjord Launcher is also available on the AUR.

MacOS

There are builds for MacOS in the releases section.

To build the launcher yourself, follow the instructions on the Prism Launcher website but clone this repo instead.
