SMAPI is the tool which launches the game with mods (which are [downloaded separately](#using-mods)).
+
==Install==
It's safely installed alongside your normal game, and you can uninstall it anytime.
+
# Install [http://www.mono-project.com/ Mono].
 +
# Download the [https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/releases latest version of SMAPI].
 +
# Extract the <tt>.zip</tt> file somewhere (but not in your game folder!).
 +
# Run <tt>mono install.exe</tt>:
 +
## Open the ''Terminal'' app.
 +
## Type <tt>mono</tt> then a space.
 +
## drag & drop the <tt>install.exe</tt> file onto the Terminal window to paste its file path.
 +
## Hit enter on your keyboard.
   −
## Install SMAPI
+
That's it! Just launch the game to play with mods.
### On Windows
  −
[...]
     −
### On Linux
+
<small>To install manually instead, see instructions in the installer's readme.</small>
[...]
     −
### On Mac
+
==Update==
1. Download the [latest version of SMAPI](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/releases).
+
Just install the new version; the installer will automatically clean up previous versions.
2. Extract the `.zip` file somewhere (but not in your game folder!).
  −
3. Open a terminal in the extracted folder and run `mono install.exe`. 
  −
  _Here's how: (1) open the Terminal app; (2) type `mono` then a space; (3) drag & drop the
  −
  `install.exe` file onto the Terminal window to paste its file path; (4) press enter on your
  −
  keyboard._ 
  −
  _(If you get an error like 'mono: command not found', you need to install
  −
  [Mono](http://www.mono-project.com/) first.)_
     −
That's it! Just launch the game to play with mods. To remove SMAPI later, run `mono install.exe`
+
==Uninstall==
again and choose _uninstall_.
+
Run <tt>mono install.exe</tt> and choose ''uninstall''.
 
  −
### Manual install
  −
The installer is the recommended way to install SMAPI, but you can also install it manually.
  −
 
  −
1. Download the [latest version of SMAPI](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/releases).
  −
2. Unzip the `.zip` file somewhere.
  −
3. Copy the files from the `internal/Mono` folder (if Linux/Mac) or `internal/Windows` folder (if
  −
  Windows) into [your game folder](http://canimod.com/for-players/faqs#game-folder). If you did it
  −
  properly, the `StardewModdingAPI.exe` file should be right next to the game's executable.
  −
4. Make sure the game launches with SMAPI.
  −
  * **Scenario A: you play on Windows:** 
  −
    [...]
  −
  * **Scenario B: you play on Linux or Mac:** 
  −
    1. Open the game folder.
  −
    2. Rename the `StardewValley` file (with no extension) to `StardewValley-original`.
  −
    3. Rename the `StardewModdingAPI` file (with no extension) to `StardewValley`.
  −
 
  −
## Update SMAPI
  −
To update SMAPI, just install the new version. The installer will automatically clean up previous
  −
versions. (If you use Steam, you don't need to set the launch options again.)
  −
 
  −
## Uninstall SMAPI
  −
To remove SMAPI, just run `install.exe` again and choose _uninstall_. If you need to uninstall
  −
manually, just do the opposite of _[manual install](#manual-install)_.
