# Before installing Fika

{% hint style="warning" %}
**WARNING**

Escape from Tarkov must be installed on your computer using the official BSG launcher.
{% endhint %}

You must have a working SPT installation before attempting to install Fika. This means you must be able to start a game in SPT without any issues, and you should not be running any mods before installing Fika. Please ensure this is the case before continuing with the next steps.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you do not have SPT installed, click [here](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/installer) to download the SPT installer and follow the steps to install SPT.
{% endhint %}
