Prerequisites
Before playing Feed the Beast, you should do the following:


 * 1) Purchase Minecraft from Mojang and create an account.
 * 2) Install Minecraft and launch it at least once to verify it runs successfully on your computer.

Installing the Launcher
Once you have Minecraft successfully running you are ready to install the FTB Launcher.


 * 1) Browse to the FTB site and download the .exe from here.  There is also a .jar file for Mac and Linux users.
 * 2) Put the .exe in its own folder somewhere on your computer.
 * 3) Run the .exe.  It may take some time for it to configure itself the first time.
 * 4) Click on the OPTIONS tab and configure the installation location, memory settings, and window size/position.
 * 5) Create a profile using your Minecraft username (or Mojang e-mail) and password.

Choosing a FTB Mod Pack
There are multiple versions of the FTB Mod Pack. If you are brand new to FTB, the Ultimate Pack is considered the greatest pack of mods for Feed the Beast. Other popular pack for FTB include the MindCrack Pack and Direwolf20 Pack, (all for Minecraft 1.4.7).

 * 2) Click on one of the packs on the left.  The launcher will list the mods that make up that pack.
