I'm not very technical, but I use ollama on my Mac and know how to side-load browser extensions. Can you ELI5 what I need to do besides downloading and side-loading the extension, and ensuring I have the same model downloaded and running on my machine?

For installation, there's nothing else you need to do. It's ready to go.

If you want to configure a custom content parser for a specific website (i.e. websites you visit frequently), you'll need to modify `contentConfig.ts` according to the instructions here: https://github.com/andrewnguonly/Lumos?tab=readme-ov-file#cu...

Sorry, I realize these instructions are probably unclear. My approach for parsing content is a bit hacky. I need to create a video tutorial/documentation to show how to inspect the webpage and pick out content to parse. Created this issue to track: https://github.com/andrewnguonly/Lumos/issues/37

It looks like compilation is required, is that right? I don't have NPM installed, and would love to have a zipped version that I can just unzip and sideload. Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding what I'm supposed to do here.

Got it, you're right. I created a release that includes the packaged code (so you don't need to run `npm`, etc): https://github.com/andrewnguonly/Lumos/releases/tag/1.0.0

Unzip `lumos_1_0_0.zip` and you can load the unpacked extension.
