#### Automatically Install the Plugin via Code

- Puppeteer (Node.js)

```javascript
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
    const path = 'C:/capSolver_extension';  // Folder where the plugin is extracted
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
        headless: false,
        args: [
            `--disable-extensions-except=${path}`,
            `--load-extension=${path}`,
        ],
    });
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto("https://google.com/");
})();
```
