+# Download and Install SkyHanni
+
+SkyHanni is a Forge mod for **Minecraft 1.8.9 only**.
+Trying to run this on Badlion, Lunar, Feather, or newer versions of Minecraft is **not supported**.
+
+Follow this guide to install SkyHanni in regular Minecraft Forge.
+If you already have Forge mods, you can skip to step 4. Otherwise, start from step 1.
+If you already have the latest alpha version from NEU, you can skip to step 5.
+
+<details>
+<summary>1. Run vanilla 1.8.9</summary>
+
+Run Minecraft 1.8.9, unmodded, for 10 seconds, then close it.
+
+</details>
+
+
+<details>
+<summary>2. Install Java</summary>
+
+To play with mods, you need Java.
+Install [Java 8](https://www.java.com/download/ie_manual.jsp).
+Double-click the file to install it.
+
+</details>
+
+
+<details>
+<summary>3. Install Forge</summary>
+
+Forge is the system that loads your mods into the game.
+You need Java to run Forge.
+Download [Forge for 1.8.9](https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.8.9.html).
+Click installer, when you double-click the file, install as client.
+If Forge does not open with Java, download [Jarfix](https://johann.loefflmann.net/en/software/jarfix/index.html),
+double click it, then try running Forge again.
+
+</details>
+
+
+<details>
+<summary>4. Download NEU</summary>
+
+Neu is NotEnoughUpdates, another Forge mod that contains files that SkyHanni depends on to function.
+You can install it from [Moulberry's Bush Discord Server](https://discord.gg/moulberry) in the
+channel [#🧪neu-alphas](https://discord.com/channels/516977525906341928/1028896920346841118) or
+from [SkyHanni Discord](https://discord.com/invite/skyhanni-997079228510117908) in the
+channel [#neu-updates](https://discord.com/channels/997079228510117908/1123201092193366027)
+
+</details>

+<details>
+<summary>5. Download SkyHanni</summary>
+
+SkyHanni has two different update circles: [Full Release](https://github.com/hannibal002/SkyHanni/releases/latest)
+and [Beta](https://github.com/hannibal002/SkyHanni/releases).
+
+In general, it is recommended to use the **Full Release**.
+It updates every 3–4 weeks and should run very stable.
+If you find bugs or miss features in the full version, they might be fixed/implemented already in a beta version.
+
+The **Beta Version**, on the other hand, gets updated multiple times a week,
+has new features earlier, but also may contain more bugs.
+
+</details>
+
+
+<details>
+<summary>6. Find .minecraft</summary>
+
+Once you have downloaded both NEU and SkyHanni, you need to navigate to your `.minecraft` folder.
+On Windows, open file explorer, in the file location bar at the top type in `%appdata%` and open `.minecraft`.
+On Mac, go to `~/Library/Application Support/minecraft`.
+
+</details>
+
+
+<details>
+
+<summary>7. Move mods into mods folder</summary>
+
+If there is a "mods" folder, great! Open it.
+Otherwise, create one and name it exactly "mods".
+
+Move both your downloaded NEU file and SkyHanni file into the folder.
+(If you have already an older version of NEU or SkyHanni in that folder, delete it.)
+
+*Note: if you have a problem, people may ask to see your mod folder - that is this folder.*
+
+</details>
+
+
+<details>
+<summary>8. Setup RAM</summary>
+
+If you're running mods, you also need to set up your allocated ram.
+If you don't know how much ram your computer has,
+follow [this guide](https://www.howtogeek.com/435644/how-to-see-how-much-ram-is-in-your-pc-and-its-speed/).
+To allocate ram, go to installation, press the 3 dots next to the installation you are using,
+click edit, press more options.
+In JVM arguments, look for something that says -Xmx2G or some other number followed by G.
+That number is the amount you have allocated for Minecraft to use.
+If you have 2G of ram on your computer, you might struggle to play Minecraft.
+Try to allocate 1G. If you have 4G, allocate 2G. If you
+have 8 or more G, allocate 4G.
+You should never need more than 4G, unless you have more mods, than you know what to do.
+
+</details>
+

+<details>
+<summary>9. Launch the Forge profile in the launcher</summary>
+
+Installing Minecraft Forge should have set the profile for you, but if it didn't, go to installations,
+select new installation, under version you need to find Forge for 1.8.9 (most likely at the top or bottom)
+
+</details>
+
+
+<details>
+<summary>10. Recommended additional mods (optional)</summary>
+
+[OptiFine](https://optifine.net/adloadx?f=preview_OptiFine_1.8.9_HD_U_M6_pre2.jar)
+and [Patcher](https://sk1er.club/mods/patcher).
+Those two mods help you get more FPS in game and let you change many more performance
+settings.
+
+*Ask on discord if you need help with those.*
