[Beginner] Where should I start?

[Sandun Wanniarachchi]

Hey folks,

            I am a web developer with almost one year experience and capable of dealing with html,css,js,php etc. Recently I'm interested in developing add-ons for firefox. But I can't figure out where should I start. :/ Any help with my case will be highly appreciated! :)

Thanks.

Hey Sandun,

did you have look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK yet ?

Hi Sandun,

I guess a good place to start is to redo the simple addon at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tutorials/Getting_started

This will get you started with the tooling and the Jetpack-specific APIs.
(and as I'm writing that, I realize it mentions cfx and might probably be corrected to encourage people to use jpm, but that's a different topic)

What are you trying to build?

Hi Julien,

yeah! of course, I already tried installing SDK. But I couldn't initialize an add-on (cfx init). It says "bash: cfx: command not found".

Then I found that JPM replaces CFX. I tried "jpm init". But terminal keep saying "command not found". Do I need to have nodejs installed in my system?

I'm using manjaro linux BTW(based on arch linux).

Thanks for the attention. :D

Hello, 

you're the writer, then you have the answer. I followed the installation guide and activated the SDK. But there was no command like "cfx" nor "jpm". Do I have to have nodejs installed in my system to use "jpm"? At this moment I just need to build a testting add-on (like hello world!) :D I just want to figure out the procedure from the begging to the deployment of a add-on. 

Thanks in advance for your time.

Yes, jpm is node based.

The easiest way to install it is to run "npm install -g jpm". See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tools/jpm (and don't forget to look at the "cfx to jpm" page if you have an existing add-on).

You can use nodejs-jpm package from AUR

Thanks for the reminder. I'm going through the SDK docs today, updating them to point to jpm instead of cfx.
