Click the extension link in your invitation email to download the memorybox-extension_(Version)_chrome.zip file. Once downloaded, Extract/Unzip the file. You should now have a folder named memorybox-extension.
You will want to choose to extract the folder to a permanent location (e.g., C:\Program Files\MemoryBox Extension on Windows, or ~/Applications/MemoryBox Extension on macOS) since Chrome will need to access this folder every time it runs. Avoid temporary locations like Downloads or Desktop.
