- In the Version drop-down menu, select the Forge version you installed.
If the Forge version isn't there, it is likely due to a known Launcher bug. Where the launcher doesn't actually exit when you ask it to. To fix this follow this you'll need to close the Launcher Process
- In the Game Directory field, press browse.
In your .minecraft folder we'll create a new folder where your modpack will live. This is to keep it seporate from your other installations & mods.

Although the pack will run on 4GB, It is recommended to use 8GB of RAM via "-Xmx8G" This may not be applicable if you do not have enough free RAM to allocate to the game. You can check how much free RAM your system has by:
Windows: Press ALT+SHIFT+ESC to open Task Manager, click More Details (If the performance tab is missing) and click on the Performance tab. Then, click on Memory
Mac: here
Ensure that you have enough Available RAM to allocate to the game. If you don't, it may be because you do not have enough Physical RAM on your Computer - or, that you have too many memory-hungry applications open, leaving none for the game. Try closing some.
