Description

The Firefox Plugin is the largest piece of the ROSI Project. It brings everything together - the requests from the website, is responsible for the wallet of the user and therefore must not allow malicious payments and must communicate with the payment-servers to create Flash-Channels and transactions in time.

Installation

• Download built and signed package and install by visiting about:addons and select "Install Add-On from File" (see http://rosipay.net for details)

Build Dependencies

• NodeJs (https://nodejs.org)
• Various npm-modules, see package.json for details. These are installed by npm automatically.

Building from Source:

1. git clone https://github.com/brunnerm4x/rosi-client.git
2. cd rosi-client/
3. npm i

Building for debugging

Now all dependencies should be installed, to build for local use (FF: Load Temporary Add-on):

• npm run build

Building signed version

To build signed version to be used persistently in normal Firefox, Mozilla API-Credentials are needed. With the credentials, you can create a script ~/Projects/sign_webextension.sh that contains something like to following:

web-ext sign --api-key=user:XXXX:XXX --api-secret=xxxxxxx -a "../builds/"

Also you will have to change the plugin-id in the manifest.json file in plugin folder.

If everything is set up, build the signed Addon by running

• npm run build-signed
