Installing Anki-Connect

Anki-Connect is crucial for AnkiLingoFlash to communicate with your Anki application. Here’s how to install it:

1. Open Anki and go to Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons…

2. Enter the code 2055492159 and click OK.

3. A message prompting you to restart Anki should appear; close it by clicking on OK.

4. Go back to Tools > Add-ons

5. Double-click on AnkiConnect in the add-ons list.

6. Update the configuration as follows:
   • First, select all existing text in the configuration window and delete it.
   • Then, copy the following new configuration and paste it into the now-empty configuration window:

   • {
       "apiKey": null,
       "apiLogPath": null,
       "ignoreOriginList": [],
       "webBindAddress": "127.0.0.1",
       "webBindPort": 8765,
       "webCorsOriginList": [
         "chrome-extension://hicnjnfcmjfnomdfmekhigghmlkmachb",
         "chrome-extension://mckpakengfehoahceapldiljefonpgfk",
         "moz-extension://<your-firefox-extension-UUID>",
         "http://localhost/*",
         "https://*/*"
       ]
     } 
     

7. For Firefox users, you need to replace <your-firefox-extension-UUID> with your actual extension UUID. Here’s how to find it:
   • Open Firefox and type about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox in the address bar.
   • Find “AnkiLingoFlash” in the list of temporary extensions.
   • Copy the “Internal UUID” displayed for AnkiLingoFlash.
   • Replace <your-firefox-extension-UUID> in the configuration with this UUID.

8. Click on OK to save the configuration.

9. Close the Add-ons window.

10. Restart Anki to ensure all changes take effect.

Very nice! Now that you’ve installed Anki-Connect, let’s move on to the next step: installing AwesomeTTS.
