1. Clone the webbox client repository, e.g.,

    git clone git://github.com/electronicmax/webbox.git
   

2. Open your Google Chrome or Chromium browser. Go to the Preferences menu, select Extensions.

3. Click "Load Unpacked Extension", and navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository

4. Click on the webbox-chrome folder and click "Choose".

You should notice a small blue box appear in your toolbar this is the Webbox icon.

Webbox Client Set Up

Click on the Webbox icon and click Settings.

In the field marked "Your Webbox", type the URL and port of your WebBox server. If you get it correct, the URL should say "Server is up and running".
