error installing manifest file

[mariomontes]

trying to install on chrome 64 bit returns error reading manifest file

The error wont affect how the extension works. It's just complaining about some Firefox specific elements in the manifest file. If it's actually affecting how the extension works, feel free to re-open this issue.

The question is that I cannot install the extension due to the manifest file error

[DominicMaas]

What does the error say?

[mariomontes]

Failed loading extension from path.... missing or unreadable manifest file

[DominicMaas]

Have you built the scripts? (could be complaining about missing scripts).

[mariomontes]

No... don't know how to. Maybe I did not understand that the install process included building scripts

[DominicMaas]

That's why it's showing an error, the scripts don't exist cause they have not been built.

It's super simple to setup.

1. Make sure you have Node.JS / NPM installed.
2. Run npm install in the root folder (containing the package.json file) - this will install all the required files.
3. Once complete, run npm run build which will build the scripts and place them in the correct location, you can then add the extension.

Note: If you modify any TypeScript files, you must run npm run build to update the extension. An alternate is to run npm run watch which will auto-build the files when you change them

I'm doing this in Windows 10 not Linux

[DominicMaas]

Those commands are for Windows 10 (well, any platform).
