Building

Note that it is no longer needed to use the build process for development purposes, all supported browsers can run the unpacked version of toolbox directly from the /extension directory

Building is relatively easy through nodejs with gulp.

Install gulp globally.

$ npm install --global gulp manifoldjs

Then navigate to the root of the toolbox folder and install the dependencies

$ npm install

To build toolbox now simply run

$ gulp

Or if you have followed these steps before and are on windows click the build.bat file.

This will create a zip file which can be used in both Chrome as well as Firefox versions that support web extensions.
