# Installing Forge
Go to [the Forge website ](https://files.minecraftforge.net )
and select the Minecraft version you wish to get Forge for from the list.
You can download the installer for the *Recommended Build* or the
*Latest build* there. Latest builds may have newer features but may be
more unstable as a result. The installer will attempt to install Forge
into your vanilla launcher environment, where you can then create a new
profile using that version and play the game!
