Preparing and setup

This method now applies to any Forge versions (up to latest Forge 1.16.4).

Update to the Forge working dev build: here.
Now, open the launcher, navigate to Options -> Launch mod installer.
Pick the downloaded Forge installer.
Once install done, it will show Install successful message (1.12.2 and below) or force-close/crash the launcher (1.13 and above).
If launcher crashes, check latestlog.txt, make sure INSTALL SUCCESSFUL text is available at the near end of log.
Back to version selector, swipe all the way down to the bottom, and Forge will be there.
Select Forge version and launch.
