Download Spectrum on Modrinth

Download the latest Spectrum file from Modrinth for your Minecraft version.
Install Fabric and Quilt and launch Minecraft once so the loader profile is created.

Add any libraries Spectrum depends on (the Modrinth page lists them) into the same folder, then start Minecraft on the Fabric and Quilt profile.
