+# How to install Forge: For Players
+
+Go to [http://files.minecraftforge.net](http://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
+ *Lastest 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!
+
+Here is a short video from Rorax showing how to install and setup Forge.
+

+# How to install Forge: For Modders
+
+If you wish to setup a new mod for Forge, visit
+ [http://files.minecraftforge.net](http://files.minecraftforge.net) and
+ select the **MDK** download.
+
+This is the `Modder Developer Kit` - basically, an example mod with all
+ the tooling needed to create a Forge mod workspace ready for use in your
+ IDE of choice.
+
+Here is a short video from @cpw showing how to install and setup the MDK
+ in Intellij.

+ 
+# How to install Forge: For those wishing to work on Forge itself
+
+If you wish to actually inspect Forge, submit PRs or otherwise work
+ with Forge itself, you're in the right place! Clone this (either
+ directly, or make a Fork first if you want to make a PR) and run
+ ```gradlew.bat setup``` or ```gradlew setup```. This will download and 
+ setup all the bits you need to have a functional Forge workspace.
+ 
+Here is a short video from @cpw showing how to install and setup Forge
