Installation and usage

Check you have the requirements needed to use our extensions.

Install the dependencies

npm install

Create the extension:

You can provide a value for the PORT environment variable to start the server on a custom port. If you do, remember to update the src property in extension.json.

The same constraints apply to loading unsafe scripts.
