### Installation
```bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/meganz/web-extension.git
```
Next launch Google Chrome and go to the URL: `chrome://extensions/`
In that page, enable _"Developer mode"_ if it isn't already, and click _"Load unpacked"_, then select the folder
where you did cloned this repository. (_You can ignore the warning about `Unrecognized manifest key 'applications'`_)
You're done! Click the toolbar button to go to our website (i.e. extension)
_The same instructions does apply to other Chromium-based browsers, such as Opera or the new Edge_
Under Firefox, go to `about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox`, next click on `Load temporary Add-On` and select the manifest.json file.
#### Updating
While this repository is rarely updated, since it does only contains the extension core files,
we do release weekly updates for our web-client which you can find here as a submodule.
Hence, to keep your cloned repository and extension updated, you will need to update both
this repository and the submodule, you can do so as below:
```bash
git pull
git submodule update --remote --merge
```
Afterwards, go to `chrome://extensions/` and click the reload button for the extension.

If you don't have the `git` program installed, you can instead download this repository
and the submodule as ZIP archives, to do so click the green button saying "clone or download"
in the top-right side of the file listing and then "Download ZIP"
Alternatively, you can just follow the following links to do so:
https://github.com/meganz/web-extension/zipball/master/
https://github.com/meganz/webclient/zipball/master/
You will need to extract the second archive into the "webclient" folder of the first one (without the sub-folder!)
