Unable to run official example

I'm trying to run this example. But it won't run.

I've the latest version 45, along with JPM installed. From the command line if I give "jpm run" it gives couple of errors like name should be in all small letters and no content script specified etc.

How to make it run?

I want some options popup when it's browser icon is clicked. But this part as in package.json is n't working:

  "browser_action": {
    "default_icon": "icons/beasts-32.png",
    "default_title": "Beastify",
    "default_popup": "popup/choose_beast.html"
  },

WebExtensions don't use JPM.

You just pack them into a ZIP file and rename it to XPI and that's it. You can also use the web-ext command-line tool to do it (web-ext build).

For testing your extension, you don't even need to pack it - just open about:debugging in your Firefox, click "Load add-on temporarily" and select your extension's main folder.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Packaging_and_installation for details.
