Installation steps

1

Download the tarball

Save searchless-extension-v*.tar.gz from the link we sent you (email or shared folder). Put it in Downloads or on your Desktop.

Extract on macOS

Easy way: Double-click the .tar.gz in Finder — Archive Utility expands it. You get a folder named searchless-extension (with manifest.json inside). Keep that folder where it is.
