## PostalPoint DevTools and Testing Builds
The [PostalPoint build server](https://build.netsyms.net/job/PostalPoint_Retail/)

builds for production purposes, but they contain the latest changes to plugin APIs.
For Windows developers, you'll want to download a "postalpoint-retail-sdk_x.xx.exe" installer,

To enable DevTools on Linux, simply run `sudo apt install nw.js-sdk` and restart PostalPoint.
To access the DevTools, press F12 or right-click anywhere inside PostalPoint and click Inspect.
