Local installation

Upstream install and restore

Install presets bundled with the upstream project, verify the result, and keep a restore path ready.
CDP safety

Connect only to the local loopback address and close the CDP injection session when finished.

Package boundary

The commands below install the upstream injector and its bundled presets. They do not import ZIPs downloaded or exported from this site.

Windows

Windows requires Node.js 22 or newer and PowerShell script execution.

  1. Install, start, and verify the local injector in that order.
  2. Keep the restore command available before applying other themes.
  3. These scripts use upstream defaults and do not import gallery source packages.
