			=== Web ===

			As of version 0.4.0, the installer has gained the ability to compile to [https://webassembly.org/ WASM].
			This version is automatically deployed to https://ornithemc.net/ornithe-installer-rs. The web version offers the same features as the downloadable binary,
			however there are a few restrictions. As such, generated files are bundled in a zip file and then downloaded.
			Additionally, operations modifying preexisting files are disabled and hidden because it is not possible for the web page to access them.

			==== Web-CLI ====

			The CLI can still be accessed in the web version and is controlled using query parameters. Keys are read as long-form arguments and then parsed like on the native version.

			Example:
			https://ornithemc.net/ornithe-installer-rs/?prism&minecraft-version=1.7.2
			This URL will create and download a zip archive of the PrismLauncher instance which can then be imported into the launcher.

			The GUI is a convenient way to quickly install ornithe on a desktop computer.

			All operations are done in a graphical way, the general behavior mimicking the old,

			java-based installers of Fabric & Quilt.

			=== Cli ===
			The CLI is an easy-to-use and intuitive interface when a graphical environment is not available.

			The CLI features all options present in the GUI and additionally includes the ability to not only install,

			but also directly launch a modded server. This allows the installer to serve as a server bootstrap.

			=== Legacy Java installer ===

			Ornithe also still offers a legacy java-based installer. Forked from the Quilt installer, it is extended with ornithe-specific features such as loader type selection and MultiMC instance generation.
			[[File:Ornithe Installer (Java, Client tab).png\|thumb\|alt=The older ornithe installer, on the client tab.

Create Installer Page

New page

The Ornithe Installer servers a few purposes:

* Installing a profile into the vanilla (official) launcher
* Generating an instance for MultiMC or MultiMC-based launchers
* Installing (& optionally starting) a server

For this, two different UIs are offered:

* an [https://crates.io/crates/egui egui]-based GUI
* an extensive CLI
