Caveats before you install
- The upstream README is written in Chinese. The commands below are verbatim; the surrounding explanation on this page is ours.
- The command above was copied on 2026-10-25. If it fails, the README is the authority, not this page.
- This site does not execute plugin code. Install commands are reproduced, not tested.
