Install manager
Download the Windows CLI package and point it at the Starminer install you want to manage.
For players
Play Starminer with mods
Use the manager for the normal install path, browse the catalog, and keep manual install instructions nearby for recovery or advanced setups.
Recommended flow
Let the manager handle the file layout
Pick mods
Browse approved catalog entries. Subscription and account sync stay unavailable until the production backend is live.
Launch Starminer
The manager installs UE4SS, Starminer Framework, selected mods, and the UE4SS enablement file.
What the manager changes
The manager follows the pinned runtime profile. It writes UE4SS loader files, the
Starminer Framework mod, approved mod folders, downloaded ZIP cache files, and
Mods/mods.txt enablement state.
Manual install is supported as documentation
If you do not want the manager, use the manual install guide. It is more work because you must place files correctly, verify SHA256 hashes, and keep framework/mod versions aligned.
