# Installing Angular DevTools in Safari (experimental)

### Requirements

- Xcode 13+

To install Angular DevTools in Safari follow the steps:

- Open Safari and make sure the checkbox in `Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Show develop menu in menu bar` is checked.

- Make sure the flag in `Develop -> Experimental Features -> Web Inspector Extensions` is checked.

- Build Angular DevTools with a chrome configuration with `pnpm devtools:build:chrome` this will create an Angular DevTools build in `dist/bin/devtools/projects/shell-browser/src/prodapp`.

- Run `xcrun safari-web-extension-converter --macos-only dist/bin/devtools/projects/shell-browser/src/prodapp`. This will convert Angular DevTools into a Safari web extension. This command should open Xcode when it completes.

- In Xcode, click the build button and wait for the extension to build. Once this is complete, a system prompt should ask you to open Safari and enable the extension. You'll know the extension is enabled because of an Angular icon present in browser toolbar.

- Open any Angular application in dev mode and open Safari DevTools, you should see the Angular Tab there.
