How to "extract" the downloaded MDK into an empty directory? MacOS

[leguchi]

Hello, I'm reading this, and am a little confused with step 3. I did download this: "forge-1.18.2-40.1.84-installer.jar", but once I double click to open it, it opens "SimpleInstaller" (which makes sense), and gives me three options

- Install client

- Install server

- Extract

I did "Extract" as it said in the documentation, but that only ended with getting an "installer.log" file. Was I supposed to do something else?

You downloaded the main forge installer.

You want the mdk. It is a separate link on the download page.

You should get a zip file with a name like forge-version-mdk.zip which you can unzip into a folder of your choosing.
