# 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.\
\
The location of the `Titanfall2` folder can vary depending on whether you purchased the game off Steam, Origin, or EA App, 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.\
⚠️ The default location `C:\Program Files\EA Games\Titanfall2` is not writeable by non-admin processes. If you installed Titanfall2 in the default location using EA App, please move the install to a different location and change the install directory to the new location.
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 or if you accidentally selected _No_) to agree.\
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.\
Should you notice any issues/warnings/errors while running Northstar, check the troubleshooting page.

## 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.
