Add browser recommendation to README (#6941)
We have recently dropped support for certain older browsers, and we're
planning to have a larger conversation soon about which browsers to
support going forward. In preparation for this, it might be worth
recommending that users use the latest browser version.

To learn how to develop MetaMask-compatible applications, visit our Developer Docs.

To learn how to contribute to the MetaMask project itself, visit our Internal Docs.

Building locally

  • Install Node.js version 10
    • If you are using nvm (recommended) running nvm use will automatically choose the right node version for you.
  • Install Yarn
  • Install dependencies: yarn
  • Build the project to the ./dist/ folder with yarn dist.
  • Optionally, to start a development build (e.g. with logging and file watching) run yarn start instead.
    • To start the React DevTools and Redux DevTools Extension alongside the app, use yarn start:dev.
      • React DevTools will open in a separate window; no browser extension is required
      • Redux DevTools will need to be installed as a browser extension. Open the Redux Remote Devtools to access Redux state logs. This can be done by either right clicking within the web browser to bring up the context menu, expanding the Redux DevTools panel and clicking Open Remote DevTools OR clicking the Redux DevTools extension icon and clicking Open Remote DevTools.
        • You will also need to check the "Use custom (local) server" checkbox in the Remote DevTools Settings, using the default server configuration (host localhost, port 8000, secure connection checkbox unchecked)

Uncompressed builds can be found in /dist, compressed builds can be found in /builds once they're built.

You can read our internal docs here.

You can re-generate the docs locally by running yarn doc, and contributors can update the hosted docs by running yarn publish-docs.

You can also test with a continuously watching process, via yarn watch.

You can run the linter by itself with yarn lint.
