In the mood for test the newly released nightly build of Firefox OS, the mobile operating system that promises to fight Android? The instructions are very simple. |
Steps to follow
1.- Download Firefox OS 17 Nightly Build for Linux, and unzip its content.
2.- In case you don't have git installed, install it. In Ubuntu and derivatives it would be like this:
sudo apt-get install git
3.- Install Gaia to be able to run Firefox OS as an application.
git clone git: //github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia
4.- Create a Gaia profile:
make -C gaia profile
Write down the path where the profile has been created, because it is necessary to take the next step.
5.- Go to the folder that was created when you unzipped the file from the first step, and run Firefox OS.
./b2g --profile ./gaia/profile
Don't forget to put the appropriate path to the profile generated in step 4.
