# Getting Started

This walks you from a fresh purchase to the in-game menu. It takes a few minutes.

{% hint style="info" %}
First, make sure your setup is supported — see [Compatibility](/product-guides/akira-jni/compatibility.md). Akira JNI runs on Minecraft 1.7.10 and 1.8.9 through the Vanilla, Forge, and Lunar launchers.
{% endhint %}

## Install and inject

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Download Akira

With an active subscription, download Akira from your dashboard and save it somewhere you can find it again.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Whitelist it in your antivirus

Akira can trip antivirus false positives, so whitelist it before you run it. If you're on Windows Defender, BitDefender, ESET, or Avast, our [whitelist tool](https://akiraghost.com/utils/whitelist.bat) does it for you — run it and paste the path to Akira when prompted. For anything else, search `[your antivirus] whitelist program`.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Run Akira and log in

Double-click Akira and sign in with your account. Once you're logged in, it's ready to inject.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open Minecraft on a supported launcher

Launch Minecraft 1.7.10 or 1.8.9 through Vanilla, Forge, or Lunar. The order doesn't matter — you can start Minecraft before or after Akira. Once you're logged in and the game is running, Akira injects on its own.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open the menu

When you're in-game, press your menu key to open Akira. From there you can browse the [feature categories](/product-guides/akira-jni/features.md), bind keys, and load a config.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Akira didn't inject, or the menu won't open? The [Troubleshooting](/product-guides/akira-jni/troubleshooting.md) page covers the common fixes.
