The build process will take care of everything into `extension-release`.
To update the version across the entire project, simply change the version number in the root `package.json`. The build script will handle version sync automatically to both the extension's version and the frontend's title bar.
## Build instructions
### Prerequisites
- Node.js v21 or higher. [Download Node.js here](https://nodejs.org/en/download).
### How to build by yourself
- Open terminal at the project root
- Run the build script:
```bash
npm run buildext
```
This will:
- Sync the version number from the root `package.json` to `src/manifest.json` and `frontend/package.json`
- Install frontend dependencies if needed
- Build the React frontend
- Clean and prepare the `extension-release` folder
- Copy extension files in `src`, built frontend assets, and icons into `extension-release`
### How to load the extension in Google Chrome or Chromium browsers
1. Go to `chrome://extensions/`
2. Enable **Developer mode**
3. Click **Load unpacked** and select the `extension-release` folder
4. Verify the extension is working by clicking its icon or opening the developer console (F12) to check for any logs or errors.
