- If building the host:
- Rust / Cargo
Installing the host and registering it with your browser is required to allow the browser extension to talk to Buku.
The host is available from the following package managers:
- AUR: bukubrow (official) / bukubrow-bin (official)
- Nix: bukubrow
If you've installed the host via a package manager, skip to step 4.
If you've downloaded the host from the releases page, skip to step 3.
- Clone the repo.
- Run
cargo build --release. Note that you'll need your target platform installed and configured with Cargo. Your executable will be located attarget/release/bukubrow. - Move the executable to a suitable location, for example
/usr/local/bin/. - Install the host file for your browser via the executable, for example
bukubrow --install-firefox.
Further options can be viewed with bukubrow --help.
The host is written in Rust stable. The messages it expects to receive from the WebExtension follow a faux HTTP format; for instance, to get all the bookmarks, you pass it a JSON object of the following format: { "method": "GET" }.
