# Manual installation
+## Installing Northstar:
+
+{% embed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK4pV-AHOHM" %}
+
+Firstly, note that the Northstar client is only available on PC and requires you to **both own the game and have it installed**.
+
+1. Download the latest version of Northstar from the [releases](https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar/releases) page
+2. Copy all the files in the newly downloaded zip folder to your `Titanfall2` folder.\
+![Drag and drop the contents of the zip into your Titanfall2 folder](/docs/images/manual-install-drag-drop-files.png)\
+The location of the `Titanfall2` folder can vary depending on whether you purchased the game off Steam or Origin, and if you set a custom folder for game installs.
+ * **For Steam** - Right click _Titanfall 2_ > Open _Properties_ > Click _Local Files_ > Click _Browse_\
+ Usually: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Titanfall2`
+ * **For Origin** - To find the location of your Origin library go to _Origin_ -> _Application Settings_ -> _Installs & Saves_ -> _On your Computer_ -> _Game Library Location_\
+ Go to the directory mentioned there using File Explorer and open the `Titanfall2` folder.\
+ Usually: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Titanfall2`
+ * **For EA App** - To find the location of your EA library go to _Settings_ -> _Download_\
+ Go to the directory under "Install location" using File Explorer and open the `Titanfall2` folder.\
+ Usually: `C:\Program Files\EA Games\Titanfall2`
+3. Launch `NorthstarLauncher.exe` to start Northstar
+ * After launching for the first time, you'll be greeted with a popup requesting to authenticate to the master server. Click _Yes_ (This can be changed in the mods menu later if desired)\
+ ![Authentication Agreement](/docs/images/titleagreement.png)
+4. Select _Launch Northstar_\

+5. From the multiplayer menu, you can use the server browser to select and join any of the public community hosted servers.\

+
+## Updating Northstar
+
+To update, simply follow the same process you used to install Northstar using the newest zipped release of Northstar. When copying the new files make sure to select "_Overwrite_".\
+Note that if you modified some files like `ns_startup_args.txt`, these will also be overwritten. If you want to keep the changes you made make sure to make a copy of these files beforehand and change them back after applying the update.
