# Installation

## System Installation

### Installation directly on Foundry with search (Recommended)

1. Open FoundryVTT.
2. In the `Game Systems` tab, click `Install system`.
3. Search for `L5R`, on the line `Legend of the Five Rings (5th Edition)`, click `Install`.

### Installation on Forge

1. Navigate to the `Systems` section in the Bazaar.
2. Search for `L5R` on the filter line.  **Note**: Install `Legend of the Five Rings (5th Edition)` **not** `Legend of the Five Rings (5E)` due to it being deprecated
3. Once installed, you can now start a Forge instance with it installed.

### With the manifest

1. Open FoundryVTT.
2. In the `Game Systems` tab, click `Install system`.
3. Copy this link and use it in the `Manifest URL`, then click `Install`: [https://gitlab.com/teaml5r/l5r5e/-/raw/master/system/system.json](https://gitlab.com/teaml5r/l5r5e/-/raw/master/system/system.json)

## Modules

L5R does not require a lot of modules and it is highly encourage you to start with a small number of them.

Some modules require others libraries/modules and you need to install the dependency modules for them to work.  Nothing fancy, just accept when FoundryVTT prompts you to download or activate the dependencies.

The following is a list of recommended modules.  Note that a module that is outdated isn't *necessarily* unusable; however, you may find integration/interaction errors with the more current versions of Foundry and generally Forge will not allow installations of modules that aren't verified for the installed version of Foundry if **Game Management** is enabled.
