You don't install it, a framework is just a campaign file for MapTool with a lot of code that makes the interface between an RPG and MapTool easier, like character sheets, dice rolls. you just open it and create your own stuff.
To use it, you just need MapTool installed and open the Framework with it, if you already have content, you can drag and drop images for maps and handouts, and copy and paste text and edit it.
See Updating
For legal reasons, only SRD content is available, you can create your own and share with your friends on your own, or find a way to import from D&D beyond or some other resource that you own.
To import new content that you got somehow, open the JSON file and copy it's content, then in the framework, open the DM Menu (F12) and go to the Settings, click Import Compendium and paste that content there. It will merge the current content with the new one, if it find duplicates, the new ones will override the old ones.
That's not a question. To use your character sheet, you must be in the same map as it's token, if you opened the character sheet then moved to another map, the sheet will not find the token and will give you this error. You can either move your token with you or go back to the map you was before.
If your character is on the current map and you still experience this problem, be sure the character token's name only contains letters and numbers, and refresh the character sheet and weapons.
On versions 1.5 and newer, player tokens are referenced on a Library token, so this error should not appear on these versions.
Not a question, if the changes don't take place immediately and you get an error message, be sure your token is present on the current map. Similarly, if the changes happened on another map, it's because the updated token is on that map, and the character sheet takes data from the current map.
On versions 1.5 and newer, player tokens are referenced on a Library token, so this error should not appear on these versions.
Check the Contributing. Thanks for the interest, by the way!
If it's not English, then no.
Not yet, you could translate on your own, but updating would be a pain so I do not recommend it, I need to figure out how to centralize all text used in the framework so language would be mostly unaffected by version.
I know it's not the same thing, but you can translate the Monsters, Features and Additional Features, spells and items may break so some testing is required.

Yes
MapTool is free, open source and extremely flexible, It's not browser based so you have to download and install it, but because of that, it doesn't depend on a remote server and you can have really high resolution images. If you don't find a framework for your RPG of choice, you can make your own and share with others.
The 5e Framework is a D&D 5th edition framework, it's easy to edit content and it automates a lot of rolls other gameplay mechanics.
Some of these advantages are subjective to your expectations, use the tool best suited for you.
No
There are Pathfinder 2 frameworks made by others. 5e Framework doesn't support Pathfinder 2 - its a D&D framework.
