Building the extension on Ubuntu

This guide has been tested on Ubuntu 22.04, with Bash.

Preparing the Environment

The following commands can be used to prepare a new Ubuntu instance for building the extension.

Open the console, install Git and nvm.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc

Check the installed build dependencies.

git --version && nvm --version

Building the Extension

The build process consists of cloning the repository, installing the dependencies, and building the extension.

Open the console, build the extension for the intended browser.

# clone repository (replace <version>)
git clone --depth 1 --branch v<version> https://github.com/dessant/youtube-video-quality.git
cd youtube-video-quality

# install Node.js version specified in .nvmrc
nvm install

# install dependencies
npm install --legacy-peer-deps

# build for Chrome
npm run build:prod:zip:chrome

# build for Edge
npm run build:prod:zip:edge

# build for Firefox
npm run build:prod:zip:firefox

The extension will be in the artifacts\<browser> folder.
