I have been browsing around for any kind of info on the way to (compile?) this thing to .xpi and install into Firefox. But no luck. I got a feeling I'm overcomplicating things seeing other people using it but I have no idea where.

So how do I install latest GitHub version as a plugin instead of using AMO's old version?

dillbyrne commented 10 years ago

Hello @ProgerXP

you can download the latest xpi by following this link https://github.com/dillbyrne/random-agent-spoofer/releases/download/0.9.3/random-agent-spoofer.xpi

or if you want to compile it yourself you need to download the mozilla addon sdk https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK and install it

and then download the RAS source either using git or download the zipfile . Then you need to navigate to the directory using the command line / shell and the using the firefox sdk type cfx xpi to create the xpi.

You then need to open the xpi with firefox. you can do this by pressing CTRL + o in firefox and navigating to the xpi file.

I will do up detailed instructions later on the wiki if you still need help.

ProgerXP commented 10 years ago

Thanks Dill. Works like a charm. How was I supposed to learn about this URL? No trace in readme or wherever.

dillbyrne commented 10 years ago

@ProgerXP it is under releases on the main page temp

I will make it more clearer in the future. I am used to github so I overlooked that.

ProgerXP commented 10 years ago

Aah, right. Never actually use those gray tabs. But still, you should definitely make it more clear in the readme.

This can be closed.

dillbyrne commented 10 years ago

I'll add a notice later on and detailed instructions to compile it too.

Thanks for your support @ProgerXP

@ProgerXP I have added a wiki page to cover obtaining, installing and building RAS from source at https://github.com/dillbyrne/random-agent-spoofer/wiki

I still have to update the user guide on the wiki and the read me but I will do so shortly.

ProgerXP commented 10 years ago

That's great - as soon as you add the link to this wiki page into the readme it will let people unfamiliar with github find their way easily.
