## Install

HyperChat is available in the Chrome and Firefox stores.

See https://livetl.app/hyperchat/install

## Building from Source

### ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

For legacy reasons, we have a `mv2` branch used by [the LiveTL extension](https://github.com/LiveTL/LiveTL)'s Manifest V2 Firefox variant, while the `main` branch houses the main Manifest V3 version that's published to stores.

### Development

> Note: The repo expects a Linux or Unix-like environment. If you are on Windows, use WSL.

Clone the repository:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/LiveTL/HyperChat

```

Open the repository and npm install:

```bash

cd HyperChat

npm install # install dependencies

```

Serve the extension for local development:

```bash

npm run dev:chrome    # devserver for Chrome extension

npm run dev:firefox   # devserver for Firefox extension

npm run start:chrome  # devserver + open extension in Chrome

npm run start:firefox # devserver + open extension in Firefox

```

### Building for Production

Our build script is [an automated GitHub action](.github/workflows/release.yml), where `${{ github.ref }}` should evaluate to a tag in the format `vX.Y.Z` (where `X.Y.Z` is the version number).

To simulate the build:

```bash

VERSION=X.Y.Z npm run build         # Chrome & Firefox

VERSION=X.Y.Z npm run build:chrome  # just Chrome

VERSION=X.Y.Z npm run build:firefox # just Firefox

```

The built ZIP files can be found in the `build` directory.
