    Mozilla (the creators of Firefox) has been working on a new Mobile Operating System called “Gecko”. This video will show you how you can install it on your computer to test it out.

    [/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Installation” tab_id=”1402713028-2-395270-7c72d1f3-23ee”][vc_column_text]

    How To Install

    Mac/Linux

    The Firefox dev platform is made to run on Mac and Linux, so it’ll be easier to install. You can find a simple guide here. But basically the process is as follows:

    Firefox Mobile OS

    1. Download the latest B2G isntaller] for your Operating system (you can find nightly builds here).
    2. Use Git to download a Gaia profile for the Firefox OS to use.
    	
    git clone git://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia
    
    1. Use GCC to actually compile the profile
    make -C gaia profile
    
    1. On Linux, use the command below to launch the program, where /path/to/b2g is the actual path to the desktop build on your machine
    /path/to/b2g -profile gaia/profile
    
    1. On a Mac, use the command below to launch the program, where <your username> is your Mac username
    /Applications/B2G.app/Contents/MacOS/b2g -profile /Users/<your username>/gaia/profile
    

    Windows

    Since windows doesn’t have a build in option to “make” the profile, we kind of have to use a workaround. Otherwise, it’s essentially the same.

    1. Download the latest B2G isntaller] for your Operating system and unzip it to your computer (you can find nightly builds here).
    2. Instead of installing “git”, I’ve uploaded a gaia-profile to my website that you can download.
    3. Unzip the gaia-profile to your b2g folder that you downloaded
    4. Also, in your b2g folder, right-click on b2g.exe and choose “create shortcut”
    5. In the “target” textbox, add -profile “C:\<path to your b2g folder>\gaia-profile”. Essentially it will look something like this:
    C:\Users\<your username>\Desktop\b2g\b2g.exe -profile "C:\Users\<your username>\Desktop\b2g\gaia-profile"
    
    1. Double click on the shortcut and it should load the interface

    A Word Of Warning

    This release is not meant to be an entirely functional version. If you’re not a curious early adopter, there’s no really reason to download and try this. It’s only for those that want to see what Firefox is up to.
