How to run the application on my machine

[PrathamDogra]

Hi Joel I want to run this application on my laptop but couldn't find the proper steps to do so. Can you brief me a little on how to set up the application on my laptop?

@PrathamDogra: perhaps the documentation needs an update. Which lines in the *.md files are unclear to you?

[PrathamDogra]

I don't know how to load package folders as an unpacked extension. My package folders are empty after installation.

From the browser extensions settings page:
Enable developer mode.
Load one of the package folders as an unpacked extension.
package/chrome/ for Google Chrome, Chromium, Vivaldi, and similar browsers.
package/webextension/ for Firefox, and other browsers.

@PrathamDogra: did you build the project first?

If you did, were there any errors?

[PrathamDogra]

Issue resolved. I used the Ubuntu terminal( WSL) to run the application.

@PrathamDogra: oh, didn't know you are using Windows. Development on Windows is not (officially) supported, but glad to hear that using WSL works!
