<h2>Windows</h2>

<h3>Scoop Installer</h3>

|
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`.
|
|
|
|
<h2>Linux</h2>
|
|
|
|
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).

Alternatively, Fjord Launcher is also available on the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=fjordlauncher).
