# Installation

## Prerequisites 🖥️

* **Windows 10 (x64)** or above 
* For older systems, **Powershell v5.1 or newer** is required. Upgrade Powershell [**here**](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/windows-powershell/install/installing-windows-powershell?view=powershell-7.2#upgrading-existing-windows-powershell)!

## Installation ✅

#### **Powershell:** 

Paste & run the following command in Powershell (`win + r` -> `powershell.exe`)

```
iwr -useb "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jax-Core/JaxCore/master/CoreInstaller.ps1" | iex
```

For installing with other methods, click [here](/getting-started/faqs/jaxcore-faqs.md#installing-in-another-location)
{% endhint %}

## Installation from external websites :cloud: <a href="#jaxcorerminstaller" id="jaxcorerminstaller"></a>

{% hint style="info" %}
You should be re-directed [here](/getting-started/installation.md#jaxcorerminstaller) if you're trying to install from DeviantArt / RM Forums.
{% endhint %}

1. Download from the respective posts from the site, run the `.rmskin` installer. It will install a cache skin which installs JaxCore. [(Why?)](/getting-started/installation.md#why-cant-i-just-get-the-jaxcore-file-then)
2. Proceed through the welcome screen (highly recommended to read everything so you don't get lost).&#x20;
3. You'll be greeted with a screen which asks you want modules or widgets to be installed. Select the one(s) you want.

### Why can't I just get the JaxCore file then?

A cache skin is used to get the latest version, and unifies the installation methods of JaxCore.
