 +==== Alternatives ====
 +If you don't need an interface to all packages or require them to run out of the box, there are some alternatives to the Quake Injector:
 +  * [[https://github.com/m-x-d/Simple-Quake-Launcher-2|Simple Quake Launcher 2]] is a nifty Windows only tool that automatically scans your Quake installation and lets you launch whatever you have installed. It will not be able to know per-package requirements so things might be broken. Give it a try!
 +  * Joel B's [[http://quakestarter.com/|Quakestarter]] is a Windows only package for setting up Quake and easily launching a curated set of addons. Highly recommended if you want an easy start with well polished releases!
 +  * The [[https://quakewiki.org/wiki/FTE|FTE engine]] has a plugin that uses the same database as the Quake Injector so you can install and launch addons right from within the engine.
 +  * The [[https://quakewiki.org/wiki/Mark_V|Mark V engine]] let's you download files from Quaddicted, unpacks and installs them. Like the SQL2 it does not know about requirements or special settings require for launching though.
