The past days we introduced you to the new Firefox OS which Mozilla intends to launch on the market in the near future and we talked to you about the similar points between this operating system and those available on the market. If then I only offered you pictures, now I tell you that you can test this operating system right on your own computer, those from Mozilla offering you this option. On this website find the necessary files to run Firefox OS on your own computer, but I recommend you only get them if you have intermediate to advanced knowledge of working with Windows/Mac OS X.
1) For your win32/linux/osx computer, download and install a nightly “B2G Desktop” build from: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/nightly/
2) on command line, run:
- $git clone git://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia
- $ make -C gaia profile
- $ /path/to/b2g -profile gaia/profile
- (eg Tonys-MacBook-Air:MacOS tchung$ ./b2g -profile /Users/tchung/Desktop/DailyB2G/07172012_desktop/gaia/profile)
