GNU LibreJS 6.0.8.20150117: Installation Requirements

From ada88090ead2c3b9d0804794c5f20f9b24d1c2b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nik Nyby Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2015 17:12:36 -0500 Subject: Import to new git repository The old repository was using almost 100mb of space because of all the unnecessary files in the history. So I've imported the code to a new git repository. Unfortunately the history isn't viewable from this repository anymore. To see what happened with LibreJS before 2015, see the old Bazaar repo here: http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/librejs/ --- .../html_node/Installation-Requirements.html | 132 +++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 132 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/manual/html_node/Installation-Requirements.html (limited to 'doc/manual/html_node/Installation-Requirements.html') diff --git a/doc/manual/html_node/Installation-Requirements.html b/doc/manual/html_node/Installation-Requirements.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d9eb038 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/manual/html_node/Installation-Requirements.html @@ -0,0 +1,132 @@ + + + + + +GNU LibreJS 6.0.8.20150117: Installation Requirements + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Appendix A Installation Requirements

+ + + +

A.1 Mozilla Browser

+ +

You will need one of the many flavors of the Mozilla browser to use +LibreJS. It can be installed on the following: +

GNU IceCat, Mozilla Firefox, Trisquel Abrowser, Debian Iceweasel. +

LibreJS works on these browsers starting from version 29. We +recommend that you use the latest version of your Mozilla browser. +LibreJS has been tested extensively on multiple GNU/Linux distributions, +but it is compatible any operating system as long as you’re using a +compatible Mozilla browser. +

+ +

A.2 Mozilla’s Add-on SDK

LibreJS uses the Mozilla Add-on SDK (Software Development Kit), a +set of APIs and tools to create add-ons for Mozilla browsers. +

You do not need the Add-on SDK to use LibreJS xpi file or to install it +using the packaged version, but it is required in order to package the +LibreJS source code into an xpi file using make. If you would like +to run the tests for LibreJS or make changes to the source files, you +will need the Add-on SDK as well. For the “make” command to work +properly, you must have the cfx command available on your system +from the command line. +

The latest tarball for the Add-on SDK is available at: +

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/jetpack-sdk-latest.tar.gz +

Instructions on how to get it working are available here: +

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/dev-guide/tutorials/installation.html +

In order to use make with LibreJS source, however, it is ideal to +have cfx available at all times and for all users. +

An easy way to do this is to extract the contents of the tarball and to +place the files inside /usr/lib/addon-sdk and then creating a +symbolic link in /usr/bin, as follows: +

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/addon-sdk/bin/cfx /usr/bin/cfx
+

+ +

The cfx command will then be available to all users. +

The Add-on SDK is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. +
