Accessibility Developer Tools (extension)

You can install the Accessibility Developer Tools extension from the Chrome Web Store page.

Checkout, build and run

Checkout

git clone --recursive https://github.com/GoogleChrome/accessibility-developer-tools-extension.git

Build

Download the Closure compiler jar and put it in ~/src/closure/compiler.jar.

cd accessibility-developer-tools-extension
make

This will run Closure compiler on all the JS sources and place generated outputs in extension.

Run

First, you need to enable the "experimental extension APIs" flag on chrome://flags. This will require restarting Chrome to take effect.

The Chrome extension developer documentation has the instructions for loading an unpacked extension; extension is the the directory containing the manifest, so this should be the directory you load.

Note: if you already have the web store version of Accessibility Developer Tools, you might want to modify the manifest (extension/manifest.json) to display a different name for your local copy. This does not require re-building the project.
