npm install

```



Finally, to run Chrome or Firefox with web-ext, run one of the following:

```shell

```



Additionally, to Load Unpacked/Temporary Add-on make a `manifest.json` and run from the [src](src) folder, run one of the following:

```shell

npm run manifest:chrome

npm run manifest:firefox

```



Chrome: [https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/get-started/tutorial/hello-world#load-unpacked](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/get-started/tutorial/hello-world#load-unpacked)

For more information on web-ext, [read this documentation](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/web-ext-command-reference/).  

To pass additional arguments to an `npm run` command, use `--`.  

Example: `npm run chrome -- --chromium-binary=...`



## Building



Install the requirements and copy libraries into the `src/dist` directory by running `npm install`.

See [gulpfile.js](gulpfile.js) for more information on `postinstall`.

```shell

npm install

```



To create a `.zip` archive of the [src](src) directory for the desired browser run one of the following:

```shell

npm run build

npm run build:chrome

npm run build:firefox

```



For more information on building, see the scripts section in the [package.json](package.json) file.
