Installation

------------

The easiest way to run BabelFrog is to install it via the [Chrome Web

Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/babelfrog/jnhmkblbgggfgeebimebebnkhgnagnpj).

To install from source, clone this repository and then load it to chrome as an "Unpacked extension":

```

cd ~/code  #  or wherever you put your cloned github repos

git clone https://github.com/dergachev/babelfrog.git

```

Now open Chrome's extension management:

And add the "Unpacked extension":

Keep in mind that if you edit certain files (like manifest.json,

background.html), the changes will not be picked up by Chrome until you reload

the Extensions management page (chrome://extensions/), which auto-reloads all

unpacked extensions.
