+### Installation
+
+1. Copy the data folder for any mods you would you would like to use into your
+   Diablo II folder. Select merge if prompted due to an existing data folder.
+   Make sure to copy the correct data folder for the version you play.
+
+   Note: Some mods may work with versions not officially supported. This is
+   more likely if they are similar patches. For example, 1.09b and 1.09d, or
+   1.13c and 1.13d. However, mods have only been tested and confirmed to work
+   with the officially supported versions.
+
+2. Add `-direct -txt` to the shortcut you use to launch the game. You can do
+   that by right clicking on the shortcut, selecting `Properties`, typing
+   ` -direct -txt` at the end of the file path in the `Target:` text box, and
+   then clicking `Apply` or `OK`. Make sure you leave a space after the file
+   path and between `-direct` and `-txt`.
+
+   If you use PlugY you can also achieve this by adding `-direct -txt` after
+   `Param=` in your PlugY config file (PlugY.ini) so that it looks like this:
+   `Param=-direct -txt`.
+
+   If you are using Lutris to play the game on Linux you can do this by right
+   clicking on the game in Lutris, selecting `Configure`, clicking on the
+   `Game options` tab, adding `-direct -txt` to the `Arguments` text box,
+   and then clicking `Save` in the bottom right corner.
