安装问题

因为在windows上有个编译即make问题，所以我们需要采取一种特殊的方法来解决这个问题，但是安装过程原理是一样的，没有什么区别。

1.根据你的操作系统下载最新的B2G installer ，解压缩。（当然你可以找到每日构建版点击这里）

2. 你可以不用安装"git"工具，直接下载gaia文件，点击这里下载

3.解压缩 gaia-profile到b2g（你刚才下载的解压缩后的b2g目录）目录中

4.同时，在b2g目录中，鼠标右击b2g.exe然后选择“创建快捷方式”

5.鼠标右击创建好的快捷方式，点“属性”，在“目标"文本框中添加如下代码：

1. -profile "C:\<你的b2g目录路径>\gaia-profile"

复制代码

添加好后如同例举的下面格式：

1. d:\b2g\b2g.exe -profile "d:\b2g\gaia-profile"

复制代码

最后，双击快捷方式将会载入配置好的文件。

Episode Summary

Mozilla has released a beta test of their new Mobile Operating System. This video shows you how to install it on Windows to test it out.

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.
