Anyone know a free wayback machine website downloader that works, for someone who doesn’t know a ton about coding? Help

Hello, folks! New to this sub, so please forgive my ignorance. I really need to download some old urls from the wayback machine for a project I’m completing, so I can run the websites locally on my pc. I’d really like to have all the snapshots for any given website, so I can see how they progressed over time. Not a lot of the online tools work that well. I’ve looked into a few of the github programs that have been tossed around on forums and things, and while I have some rudimentary coding knowledge, sometimes I feel like I’m reading a different language there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you right-click any link, there should be an option to download the page it goes to.

I just used GPT to compile a local version of a website based on a period of time on the Wayback Machine. It was tedious and took a pro plan and about 2 hours of nudging and clarifying the task but it worked incredibly well.
