## Self-hosting Screenity
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can run Screenity locally without having to install it from the Chrome Store. Here's how:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Download the latest Build.zip from the [releases page](https://github.com/alyssaxuu/screenity/releases)
|
|||
|
|
2. Load the extension by pasting `chrome://extensions/` in the address bar, and [enabling developer mode](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv2/faq/#:~:text=You%20can%20start%20by%20turning,a%20packaged%20extension%2C%20and%20more.).
|
|||
|
|
3. Drag the folder that contains the code (make sure it's a folder and not a ZIP file, so unzip first), or click on the "Load unpacked" button and locate the folder.
|
|||
|
|
4. That's it, you should now be able to use Screenity locally. [Follow these instructions](#enabling-save-to-google-drive) to set up the Google Drive integration.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Creating a development version

|
|||
|
|

|
|||

|
2. Clone this repository.
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|

|
|||

|
5. Load the extension by going to `chrome://extensions/` , and [enabling developer mode](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv2/faq/#:~:text=You%20can%20start%20by%20turning,a%20packaged%20extension%2C%20and%20more.).

6. Click on `Load unpacked extension`.
|
|||

### Enabling Save to Google Drive
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To enable the Google Drive Upload (authorization consent screen) you must change the client_id in the manifest.json file with your linked extension key.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can create it accessing [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials) and selecting Create Credential > OAuth Client ID > Chrome App. To create a persistent extension key, you can follow the steps detailed [here](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/manifest/key).
