What this project is: Frida lets you inject JavaScript into a running program so you can watch and change what it does in real time. It is widely used for reverse engineering and security testing.

Installation given by the repo's docs (if it's stale, follow the current README):
whatever the README prescribes

Verify it works with this (also per the repo's docs):
whatever minimal example the README gives

Prerequisites and caveats: nothing unusual — check the README

Requirements:
1. Read the repo's README and install docs first — check whether the commands above still apply and whether dependencies are complete. Don't guess.
1b. **If it turns out not to be installable software** (a dataset, project template, config collection, documentation, design assets, or a phone app), tell me what it actually is and how it should be used, then proceed that way — don't force an install flow.
2. Choose steps for my OS (macOS / Linux / Windows). If unsure, ask me first — no destructive operations.
3. Actually run the verification step above and paste the real output, so we know it runs — not "it should work".
4. Ask before you need an API key, admin rights, or a large download / significant disk usage.
5. Finally tell me in a few lines: how to start it, how to uninstall it, and where the config lives.
