Individual Installation (and uninstall)
An individual installation means Collections is only working for you. Only you (or anyone else who with an individual installation) can see Collections.
To do this Canvas Collections is installed into your web browser as a userscript.
About userscripts and userscript managers
You install a userscript manager (Step #1) into your web browser (not surprisingly) to help manage userscripts. Small Javascript programs that your browser will run when you view specific web pages. Userscripts customise those web pages to better suit your purposes. e.g. to modify the Canvas modules view by adding Collections.
Installation
There are three steps for an individual installation
1. Install a userscript manager
TamperMonkey is a widely used userscript manager. It can be used on most modern web browsers.
1.1 - Visit the Tampermonkey home page
You should see instructions for downloading (installing) TamperMonkey for your web browser. e.g. the following image for the Firefox browser
1.2 - Click on the left-hand Download button
As shown above, you can choose to download the stable (left-hand download button) version of TamperMonkey or the BETA (right-hand download button) version. The stable version is recommended.
You will be taken to your web brower's extension or add-on service.
1.3 - Follow the instructions to add Tampermonkey to your web browser
Each web browser’s browser extension installation process will be a little different. In general, it will provide you with details of what permissions the browser extension (Tampemonkey in this case) wishes to have and provides you with the option to install.
2. Install the Collections userscript
With TamperMonkey installed you can now
If all is working you should something like the following image. An image showing TamperMonkey providing you with details of the userscript and asking if you wish to install (or perhaps update) it.
