Set up the development environment

Before starting to develop, you must set up your device. This is what you must do:

1. Install Go. On Mac, you can install it with Homebrew by running brew install go.
   • This is because the build script uses a Go program to generate the manifest.
2. Install the genmanifest Go program. In order to do this, run go install gomodules.avm99963.com/webext/genmanifest@latest.
3. Install NPM.
4. Now, you must clone the git repository to your device to retrieve the extension source code. To do that, go here and execute the "clone with commit-msg hook" command listed there (if you sign in you'll see several options: cloning via anonymous HTTP, HTTP, or SSH).
5. That's it! If you're using a Mac, you're out of luck, because you must perform some more steps.

Mac-specific configuration

On a Mac, you must also follow these steps:
