Load Unpacked Extension Installation​

③ Open the browser's extension management interface to load the unpacked extension (refer to Enable developer mode to support manifest v3 ScriptCat to enable developer mode first)

    1. Edge edge-load-unpacked
    1. Chrome chrome-load-unpacked

④ Select the folder created in step ② (after loading is complete, the ScriptCat icon will appear in the extension list in the extension management interface, and you can also see it by clicking the extension button in the upper right corner of the browser's address bar)

    1. Chrome chrome-load-unpacked-img

⑤ Click the ScriptCat icon in the upper right corner, click ┆ > Get Scripts in the upper right corner of the interface that appears, and you can go to the script site to search and install scripts.

Note: Extensions installed this way cannot be automatically updated. If you need to update, please repeat the above steps to update the extension (replace files and reload once).
