These instructions are needed to setup the device/browser to install packaged apps from the reviewer pages. No extra setup is needed to install hosted apps.
== FirefoxOSFirefox OS=====Root access (FxOS 2.0 and below)===To install/setup reviewer certificate access in versions before FxOS2.1, the device needs to be rooted. In FxOS2.1 and above this is no longer necessary. Geeksphone and Alcatel One Touch devices are typically shipped rooted, operator provided devices are typically not.You can test this by typing 'adb root' after installing the ADB - see below - (if it says it can't be run in production builds then certificate installation isn't going to work). Rooting your device is outside of the scope of this page but you may be able to find instructions on the internet, and is obviously taken at your own risk, etc.
=== Install the Android SDK Tools/ADB ===
#*# Add <code>export PATH=$ADT/sdk/platform-tools:$PATH</code> at the end of the file. Remember to replace <code>$ADT</code> with the path to your ''Android SDK Tools'' directory. The default location on Mac is <code>/Users/your-computer-name/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools</code>.
:You can check whether it works by '''opening a new terminal window''' and executing <code>adb</code> from any directory. If it does not produce an error, you are all set up.
