<p>Scottrobbertson: Created page with &quot;== Downloading == The first thing you need to do to install the game is to download either the normal or beta launcher from the download page http://star-made.org/download.sta...&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>== Downloading ==<br /> The first thing you need to do to install the game is to download either the normal or beta launcher from the download page http://star-made.org/download.starmade. Download the correct version for your OS. The normal launcher is about 2MB, the beta is about 102MB.<br /> <br /> If you do not have it, you will also need to download and install the 64bit version of Java, as this is required to run the game.<br /> <br /> == Setup ==<br /> Once you have the launcher, whichever one you chose you can run it. In the top left corner of the page there should be three menus: Options, Help, and Community. Open the options menu and click on the 'Memory Options' button. It should pop up a window with settings for maximum memory, minimum memory, and initial memory. The only setting you should change is the maximum memory. It is a matter of preference how much memory to give the game, but you should give it at lease 2GB of RAM.<br /> <br /> == Installation ==<br /> Once you have set up the Memory settings you can install the rest of the game. At the bottom of the window, there should be a row of four buttons, click the active one that says &quot;update and install latest version&quot;, it will start downloading the rest of the game. This is about 1GB, so it could take a while. Once the download has finished, the button will go grey so you cannot click it, until a new version comes out. You can now click 'start game', or 'start dedicated server' to play the game.</div>
