Ornithe Installer

The Ornithe Installer serves 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 egui-based GUI
• an extensive CLI

GUI

Installer GUI on the "Client" page

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
