    Hello, first off I would like to apologize if this belongs in the "Help/Support" section. Second off, would anyone mind supplying me with a step-by-step install instructions for Forge. I feel like I should know how to do this, but when I tried, at the end, I did not have forge, just about 4-5 new random programs. (At least one of them had malware on it.) Also, would it be better to get the 1.9 or a 1.8 version for using it on ECC?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Edit: Sorry, forgot to add theses.

    1. If it helps at all, my OS is windows 10.

    2. I was using this site http://files.minecraftforge.net/ (Found it on the ecc mini-map page.)

    Take a look at this, it'll help:



    It's for Windows 10, and should apply for all Windows versions 7 and up.

    Sorry to ask for help from you again, but I just got Forge installed (I had to go yesterday after I commented.) but do I need to keep the two forge folders in my downloads fold or can I delete them? In case it helps, they are labeled "Forge-1.9-12.16.0.1776-1.9-installer-win" and "Forge-1.9-12.16.0.1776-1.9-installer-win.exe".

    Thank you in advance,

    You can remove those, once it is installed you no longer need the installers.
