   git clone <repository-url>
   cd manga-translator

2. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install Python dependencies: A requirements.txt file is not yet available. Please install the following packages manually:

   TO find the Firefox profile path, open Firefox, go to about:profiles, and copy the path of the profile you want to use. Recommended to create a new profile for the bot to avoid any conflicts with your main profile
