Adding Kiwix for CasaOS

Good afternoon, I am new(er) to Linux and have created a couple of servers, one of which is a CASAOS build on a Raspberry Pi 5. I would like to install Kiwix on the server but the app is not on any of the repositories. I tried adding it through the system, but have had no luck whatsoever. Is there anyone who would be willing to put something together for the repository? Or, is there someone out there that has successfully installed it on CasaOS that would be willing to share the steps? Thank you.
