    <ol>
      <li>
        Download <code>FMF.ModPathRedirector.dll</code> from the latest{' '}
        <a href="https://github.com/mleem97/gregFramework/releases/latest">GitHub release</a> (or use the button on this page — redirects to the same asset).
      </li>
      <li>
        Copy the DLL into your game folder: <code>&lt;GameRoot&gt;/Plugins/</code> — the same directory as <code>Data Center.exe</code>, <strong>not</strong> <code>Mods/</code> (that folder is for MelonMods).
      </li>
      <li>
        Ensure <code>steam_api64.dll</code> is next to the game executable (Steam ships it with the game). Start the game with MelonLoader; the plugin waits until Steam is running, then requests downloads for subscribed Workshop items.
      </li>
    </ol>

:::info GitHub asset
The **Download DLL** button and `/plugin/FMF.ModPathRedirector.dll` route resolve to `https://github.com/mleem97/gregFramework/releases/latest/download/FMF.ModPathRedirector.dll`. That file is attached automatically when you publish a release via the `release-assets.yml` workflow (push a `v*` tag or run the workflow manually).
