| This directory contains an example of chrome application that uses native |
| messaging API that allows to communicate with a native application. |
| |
| In order for this example to work you must first install the native messaging |
| host from the host directory. |
| |
| To install the host: |
| |
| On Windows: |
| Add registry key |
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\com.google.chrome.example.echo |
| or |
| HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\com.google.chrome.example.echo |
| and set its default value to the full path to |
| host\com.google.chrome.example.echo-win.json . Note that you need to have |
| python installed. |
| |
| On Mac and Linux: |
| Run install_host.sh script in the host directory: |
| host/install_host.sh |
| By default the host is installed only for the user who runs the script, but if |
| you run it with admin privileges (i.e. 'sudo host/install_host.sh'), then the |
| host will be installed for all users. You can later use host/uninstall_host.sh |
| to uninstall the host. |
