1. Install the latest version of Node.js and NPM for your platform
2. Execute npm ci in the root directory
3. Execute npm run postintall in the root directory
4. Execute npm run build in the root directory

After this, the contents of the derpinewtab folder is the build output. Additionally, a zip file is created in the root folder named derpinewtab.zip, which gets uploaded to the extension hosting sites.

Sometimes node-7z-archive can fail to install binaries, in which case step 2 will fail with an error similar to this:

Error: spawn (...)\node_modules\node-7z-archive\binaries\win327円za.exe ENOENT

In this case the build actually succeeded, and only the final zipping step failed. You can simply use the contents of the derpinewtab folder and/or zip it manually using your favourite tool.

For a one-time build, simply install the dependencies using npm ci then execute npm run postintall which will copy the necessary 3rd-party code to the derpinewtab/js/vendor directory, then finally run npm run build which will create a zip archive containing the extension code.
