1. Check that the [file permissions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_permissions) for "ping_pong.py" include the `execute` permission.
2. Edit the "path" property of "ping_pong.json" to point to the location of "ping_pong.py" on your computer.
3. copy "ping_pong.json" to the correct location on your computer. See [App manifest location ](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_messaging#App_manifest_location) to find the correct location for your OS.

### Windows setup ###
1. Check you have Python installed, and that your system's PATH environment variable includes the path to Python. See [Using Python on Windows](https://docs.python.org/2/using/windows.html).

2. Edit the "path" property of "ping_pong.json" to point to the location of "ping_pong_win.bat" on your computer. Note that you'll need to escape the Windows directory separator, like this: `"path": "C:\\Users\\MDN\\native-messaging\\app\\ping_pong_win.bat"`.
3. Edit "ping_pong_win.bat" to refer to the location of "ping_pong.py" on your computer.
4. Add a registry key containing the path to "ping_pong.json" on your computer. See [App manifest location ](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_messaging#App_manifest_location) to find details of the registry key to add.
