How to install the extension from SVN.

Introduction

You need to archive some of the files together once downloaded from SVN to be able to install this plugin. Below will describe what to do.

Details

  • For this tutorial, we will assume you downloaded the bitfox file from SVN, as that will always contain the most current source code.
  • Download the the folder(s) you want from SVN. If you do not know how to download from SVN, use Google to find some information and this page.
  • In the file that you have downloaded, the structure should look similar to this:
  •     /bitfox
            /branches
            /tags
            /trunk
                /chrome
                    /content
                        (Files go here)
                    /skin
                        (Files go here)
                install.rdf
  • In the Chrome file, archive the files content and skin with a zip program, and save that zip archive in the chrome folder as "bitfox.zip" (no quotes).
  • Then change the zip extension of that file to jar, so the full filename of that file is "bitfox.jar".
  • Once that is done, delete all the files in the chrome folder.
  • In the trunk folder., zip all the files and folders contained together, call it "bitfox.zip" and save it in the trunk folder.
  • Change the zip extension of that file you just created to xpi.
  • If you want, you can delete all the files and folders except the xpi file you created.
  • In FireFox, go "File -> Open File" and select that xpi file you just created. This will install the extension for you.
