So I downloaded the Forge 1.15.2-31.1.0 files and extracted them and no where can I find where to actually Install? its just full of .json and .class files, and I cant find anyone else with this problem. all the videos iv been told about, they go to download, they get a file to click on and them bam they are done. I got absolutely none of that :/ (Not one single Jar file anywhere either)

    Make sure you've downloaded the installer (not the mdk, source, etc) on the download page.

    1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.

    2. Always post your code.

    3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that.

    Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere

    5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger.

    The "picture that's worth 1000 words" only works if there's an obvious problem or a freehand red circle around it.

    The installer download should only download a jar file. You need to run the jar file, not extract it.

    Make sure you have Java installed. If the jar still doesn't open with Java, use Jarfix.
