Metamask Plugin

Development

npm install --global grunt-cli
npm install
grunt dev

In Chrome

Open Settings > Extensions.

Check "Developer mode".

At the top, click Load Unpacked Extension.

You now have the plugin, and can click 'inspect views: background plugin' to view its dev console.

Developing the UI

To enjoy the live-reloading that grunt dev offers while working on the metamask-ui or web3-provider-enigne dependencies:

1. Clone the dependency locally.
2. npm install in its folder.
3. Run npm link in its folder.
4. Run npm link $DEP_NAME in this project folder.
5. Next time you grunt dev it will watch the dependency for changes as well!
