Short Summary
The following document will guide users on how to install and setup a telemetry experiment staging server on the local machine. Once the staging server is installed, Firefox will be able to contact the server and install the current experiment.
Here are two ways of checking to see if an experiment has been installed:
- Checking "about:addons" - You should see an "Experiments" category being listed
- Checking "about:support" - Will list the active experiments under "Experimental Features"
Quick Notes:
- This guide assumes that you're using either OSX or Linux. Trying to get the staging server working on Windows is a lot harder and requires many different dependencies.
- This can also be installed on a cloud instance and doesn't necessarily have to be installed locally. I personally have a telemetry experiment installed on a Digital Ocean linux instance that I use as my main testing server.
