Installing Fabric Manually
There are several reasons why you might want to install Fabric manually. One reason could be you're looking for a set Fabric version that isn't on our version installer.

First, on the top of the application window, select "Server"

Now, select what version of Minecraft and what version of Fabric you'd like. Then click "Install"

You'll then be met with another pop-up. Here, you will need to click "Download server jar"
Once the download is complete, you should find it in your downloads folder as default. Unless you set a different launcher location directory in the last window.
