=== Using an exploit ===
+
For a less technical procedure, see [[homebrew setup]].
−
The most common way of installing the Homebrew Channel is via an exploit. Some of these are specific to certain versions of the [[System Menu]], while others are not but require you to own a certain Wii game in order to use them. There really isn't any reason not to be on the latest firmware version most of the time.
+
=== Using the HackMii Installer ===
+
The [[HackMii Installer]] is most commonly used to install HBC. See the HackMii Installer page for more info.

=== Using the ISO installer ===

|-
+
This method requires a [[drivechip]] and a DVD, and won't work with the [[June16 update|3.3 firmware update]] or newer. DVD images for more recent releases are currently unavailable, though you can get beta8 and then update. This method is not recommended, due to the requirement of hardware modification that could [[brick]] your Wii.

=== Using a previous unsigned code-loading method ===
−
If you already have a homebrew loader capable of running unsigned code ([[HomebrewFilter]], [https://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Wuphax Wuphax], etc.), you can use it to load the HackMii Installer.
−
# Download the [[HackMii Installer]].
−
# Extract the HackMii Installer to find the boot.elf
−
# Place the boot.elf file in the location of your SD card that the loader specifies.
−
# Boot the loader that will work for your [[System Menu]].
−
# Wait for the Hackmii Installer to run tests on your Wii
−
# Press {{Wiimote1Button}} when told to continue installing HBC and [[BootMii]]. <strike>NOTE: Newer Wii Remotes with WiiMotion+ integrated will not work with the Hackmii Installer. You'll need to use (borrow from a friend?) the older Wii Remote style and perform a red-button synchronisation on the System Menu to use the Hackmii Installer.</strike> As in Hackmii Installer v1.0, Wii Remotes with WiiMotion+ will work.
−
−
The installation should be automatic from this point on, and your Wii will reboot.

−
=== Using a drivechip ===
−
This method requires a [[drivechip]] and a DVD, and won't work with the [[June16 update|3.3 firmware update]] or newer. DVD images are currently unavailable, though you can build beta8 yourself (source code [https://github.com/fail0verflow/hbc/blob/master/pywii/pywii-tools/injectdol.py here]) and then update. This method is not recommended, due to the requirement of hardware modification that could [[brick]] your Wii.
# Install your [[drivechip]] into the Wii hardware.

# Build the installer and burn it onto your DVD.

# Download the ISO [https://wii.brewology.com/downloads/get.php?id=2595 here]. Note that the file is actually a .rar, despite being named like a .zip. Be sure to remove the .zip from the end before extracting.
