Prerequisites:
- Anki
- Yomichan
- Anki Connect
Install:
- Copy the code and install like you would for any other Anki addon
- Restart Anki
- Allow network connections (required since this is a local server)

- Select Type as JSON and set URL to http://localhost:8770/?term={term}&reading={reading}
- In your Audio Sources list below, make sure one of them is set to Custom
Now when you scan a word in Yomichan, you should be able to right click the audio icon and the Forvo custom audio sources should appear.
Yomichan Forvo Server supports a few configuration options, which you can edit by going to Tools > Add-Ons > Yomichan Forvo Server > Config. Note configuration changes requires you to restard Anki to see effects.
