SMAPI is the tool which launches the game with mods (which are [downloaded separately](#using-mods)).

__TOC__
It's safely installed alongside your normal game, and you can uninstall it anytime.

## Install SMAPI
+
==Install==
### On Windows
+
Quick note: As of version 4.0.0, SMAPI uses NET 6.0, which is supported on '''[https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/6.0/supported-os.md#macos Mac 10.15 (Catalina) or later]'''. These instructions will fail if you're on Mac 10.12 (Sierra), Mac 10.13 (High Sierra), or 10.14 (Mohave), in which case, see: [[Modding:Player Guide/Troubleshooting#SMAPI doesn't work with the compatibility branch]]
[...]
     −
### On Linux
+
# Download the [https://smapi.io/ latest version of SMAPI] (see [[Modding:Installing SMAPI on Mac Pictorial Guide#Install SMAPI|a pictorial guide]]).
[...]
+
# Extract the <samp>.zip</samp> file somewhere (but not in your game folder!).
 +
# Right-click <samp>install on Mac.command</samp> and choose ''open''.
 +
# Follow the on-screen instructions.¹
   −
### On Mac
+
That's it! Just launch the game to play with mods. '''You don't need to change your Steam launch options.''' (That's only needed on Windows).
1. Download the [latest version of SMAPI](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/releases).
  −
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`
+
<small>¹To install manually instead, see instructions in the installer's readme.</small>
again and choose _uninstall_.
     −
### Manual install
+
==Update==
The installer is the recommended way to install SMAPI, but you can also install it manually.
+
Just install the new version; the installer will automatically clean up previous versions.
   −
1. Download the [latest version of SMAPI](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/releases).
+
==Uninstall==
2. Unzip the `.zip` file somewhere.
+
# Launch the installer again (see [[#Install|install steps]]).
3. Copy the files from the `internal/Mono` folder (if Linux/Mac) or `internal/Windows` folder (if
+
# When prompted, choose the ''uninstall'' option.
  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 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

==Troubleshooting==

* If you are getting the <code>Operation not permitted: 'internal'</code> error, do the following steps:
versions. (If you use Steam, you don't need to set the launch options again.)
+
** Open System Preferences
 +
** Go to "Security and Privacy", then go to the "Privacy" tab.
 +
** Scroll down to "Full Disk Access".
 +
** Click the lock button to make changes, and then use the + button to add Terminal to the list of apps.
 +
** Try again to run <samp>install on MacOS.command</samp>.  
 +
* On Ventura:
 +
** Install [https://iterm2.com/ iTerm] and set it to be your default Terminal. This is not optimal if you like using Terminal, but otherwise seems like a perfectly workable solution.
 +
** OR Temporarily disable System Integrity Protection. This is not a great solution, because it leaves your computer vulnerable, and you should absolutely not leave your computer in this state.
 +
* See the [[Modding:Player Guide/Troubleshooting|troubleshooting page]] for general troubleshooting.
