How to install from source?

Download the sources into some directory DIR. (E.g., https://github.com/dominique-unruh/mathquill-for-gmail/archive/master.zip, or clone from https://github.com/dominique-unruh/mathquill-for-gmail/tree/master. Here "master" could also be a tag for a specific version.)
Install DIR as a plugin in your browser:
- In Firefox, open about:debugging, and in the "Add Ons"-tab, click "Load Temporary Add-on". Then select any file in DIR.
- In Chrome/Chromium, go to chrome://extensions/, select "Developer mode", click "Load unpacked extension...", and select DIR.

If you edit the source in DIR, you will have to click "Reload" on the page where you installed the plugin.

Installing from source may work with other browsers, too, if they support WebExtensions, but I have not tried this out.

Creating the extension ZIP file:

In DIR, run make.
This generates mathquill-for-gmail.{chrome,firefox,thunderbird}.zip.
These can be installed in Chrome/Firefox/Thunderbird as extensions. (The mechanism may depend on the specific browser variant, experiment or search the internet.)
