    With the Mercurial Repo
    -----------------------

    Packages you need:
    - jinja2
    - markupsafe

    Packages can be installed via pip.
    Clone mercurial repo

    `hg clone https://hg.adblockplus.org/adblockplus`

    Rename metadata.gecko to metadata.chrome

    `cd adblockplus/`
    `mv metadata.gecko metadata.chrome`

    To create a .zip file you need to run:

    `./build.py -t chrome build`

    Once you have the zip file you can follow the steps described in the first part of this document beginning with step number 7 .

    You can create too a developer environment running:

    `./build.py -t chrome devenv`

    This will create a devenv folder which can be loaded as an extension as described in the first part of this tutorial beginning with step number 9. *Path* in this case will be the route to the devenv

    Once you have it you can follow the same steps described in the first part of this tutorial beginning with step number 9. *Path* in this case will be the route to the devenv

    And there are more options available with the `help` parameter

    `./build.py help`
    `./build.py -t chrome help`
