Building

Install the requirements and copy libraries into the src/dist directory by running npm install. See gulpfile.js for more information on postinstall.

npm install

To load unpacked or temporary addon from the src folder, you must generate the src/manifest.json for the desired browser.

npm run manifest:chrome
npm run manifest:firefox

If you would like to create a .zip archive of the src directory for the desired browser.

npm run build
npm run build:chrome
npm run build:firefox

For more information on building, see the scripts in the package.json file.

3. Open Chrome, click the 3 dots in the top right, click Extensions, click Manage Extensions.
