Before You Install

You first will need to install Java 17 or above. You can see if you have Java installed by opening a terminal (Command Prompt on Windows) and typing this command:

hyper@hyperbox:~$ java -version
openjdk version "17.0.4" 2022-07-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-17.0.4+8 (build 17.0.4+8)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-17.0.4+8 (build 17.0.4+8, mixed mode, sharing)

If the version says 17 or something higher, you have Java installed and can continue.

Missing Java

If it says something about unknown command, you do not have Java installed or your path is not set correctly!

Windows

Head here and download the latest release (make sure "Temurin 17" is selected!)

Run the installer and make sure to enable "Set JAVA_HOME variable" and "JavaSoft (Orable) registry keys."

Linux

Most distros will have Java 11 installed by default. To install Java 17, you can follow this nice guide here. Simply follow the instructions for your distro!

Installing

Windows

Download the exe file from the releases page. Create a new folder somewhere on your PC. It does not matter where. After downloading, move the exe file to the new folder you created. From there, run the program! You are all set to go.

Linux

Open up a terminal and run this command. You can always read what this file is doing if you wish to!

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperdefined/CustomLauncherRewrite/master/linux/installer.sh | bash

This will run in the installer, which will take care of everything. After you run it, you are all set! You should see CustomLauncherRewrite on your desktop's application list. Simply run it!

Migrating

After installing the launcher, head over to Migration to copy over screenshots, settings, and resource packs from the official launcher!
