Requirements

Build process requires following CLI software:

• npm: $ sudo apt-get install npm
• bower: $ sudo npm install -g bower
• vulcanize: $ sudo npm install -g vulcanize
• crisper: $ sudo npm install -g crisper
• zip: $ sudo apt-get install zip

Build

Before running build, make sure you have all required dependencies from bower repositories installed:

    $ bower install

If you're returning to continue work on the extension after some time, consider updating dependencies to their latest versions using bower update.

Build process creates a dist folder and a dist.zip file. You can run the build.sh file (from project's root folder) to execute entire build process:

    $ sh build.sh

Alternatively, you can run parts of the build process yourself. All commands below must be executed in the project's root folder.

1. Run vulcanize (make sure dist folder and dist/index.vulcanized.html and dist/index.vulcanized.js files exist before running the command):

    $ vulcanize index.html --inline-script | crisper --html dist/index.vulcanized.html --js dist/index.vulcanized.js 
   

2. Copy manifest.json and images folders to dist folder.

    $ cp -av manifest.json dist/manifest.json
    $ cp -avr images dist/images 
   

3. Now you have two options: Either load contents of the dist folder into Chrome as unpacked extension, or create zip file from the dist folder and upload it to Chrome Web Store:

    $ zip -r dist.zip dist
