Install help
- Thread starter jckmisha
- Start date
There is no launcher, as such.
On Windows I double click on the jar file to start it. I could also open a command console and type "start <name of jar file>" or type "java -jar <name of jar file>"
While more details could be provided the process is basically download the jar file, stick it in a directory and then launch/start/execute the jar file.
Downloading "everything" and unpacking suggests you are doing more than expected.
If you come across a Windows installer don't use it.
If you're not on Windows and can't extrapolate from the above let us know what OS.
https://wiki.kolmafia.us/index.php/Installation is not quite up to date but might help. But the documentation I can find seems to assume the reader knows how to run a jar file on their system.

Hey, I really appreciate you responding. I have the flu so I'm operating on about 3 brain cells. From Github there is the 26mb zip file with the extension .jar, but once unpacked I can't find a .jar file within it. I know I'm doing something really stupid here, and I appreciate any further help you can throw my way.
I went to https://github.com/kolmafia/kolmafia
I then pressed release in the bottom left. That took me to a page for the latest release. Towards the bottom is a section called Assets and you can click on the KoLmafia jar file to download the jar.
People are used to getting a build from https://ci.kolmafia.us/ where you cal press KoLmafia and get a page with a jar as a successful artifact.
I wonder if you grabbed a zip file for the complete project which is more useful if you are building or compiling and not using git.
