# Installing a Launcher
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As you may or may not know, [GalacticFactory](https://invite.galacticfactory.cc) does not provide support for individuals using the vanilla launcher.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instead, we recommend people use a third party launcher, such as Prism Launcher or ATLauncher.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This page will guide you through the process of installing these launchers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Installing Java
|
||
|
|
Go to [this link](https://java.galacticfactory.cc) and run the installer it downloads.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_If you are not on Windows you can find a compatible version [here](https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/), just make sure you're using JDK 17._
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Launcher Choice
|
||
|
|
You can decide which of the following launchers you want to use based on personal preference. None of these launchers are necessarily objectively better than another launcher.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Installing Prism Launcher
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Go to the [Prism Launcher Website](https://prismlauncher.org/download/) and press the "Installer (.exe)" button.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the executable file you just downloaded, then make your way through the installer. Once the installer is done, run Prism Launcher.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Log into your Microsoft account in the top right.
|
||

|
|
|
||
|
|
You're done!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Installing ATLauncher
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Go to the [ATLauncher Website](https://atlauncher.com/downloads) and click "Setup" under the Windows category.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the executable file you just downloaded, then make your way through the installer. Once the installer is done, run ATLauncher.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you're in ATLauncher, go to the Accounts tab.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Click the "Login with Microsoft" button and follow the instructions it gives you.
|

|
|
You're done!
