Step 2: Go to userscript.org and find the userscript you want to install. For example, if you want to install MouseHunt AutoBot, open it and hit the install button on the top right hand corner.

Step 3: The Tampermonkey extension should be taking over and ask if you really wanted to install the script. Hit the OK button and OK button again to confirm the script installation.

Step 4: Done! Refresh the page if you want immediate effect from the script which you have just installed. If you wish to edit the script which you have installed.
