+Steps to run [playwright](https://playwright.dev/) tests locally:
+
+1. Run `npx playwright install` to install the headless browsers
+2. Copy the dictionary test data located in the `dictionaries` branch to a directory named `dictionaries` via `git clone --branch dictionaries git@github.com:Ajatt-Tools/rikaitan.git dictionaries` ([source](https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/rikaitan/blob/086e043856ad54cf13cb65f9ba4c63afe8a22cc3/.github/workflows/playwright.yml#L52-L57)).
