It's best to install the latest version first.
Otherwise, after installation, you may encounter such a problem as knocking out the game, and with a characteristic inscription: Соuld not find the main class: net.minecraft.MinecraftLauncher.Program will ехit.
The next step is to download the installation client from the internet.
