Note

Before running any scripts, it is strongly recommended that you inspect the contents of the scripts to ensure they are safe and do not perform any actions that could harm your system. Run the scripts at your own risk.

After running the installation or uninstallation scripts, you may need to restart your session or log out and back in for all changes to take effect. This ensures that environment variables and desktop entries are properly reloaded.
