I want to write a greasemonkey script for my client to automate his tasks, however I don't want to share the script with others (as obviously, my client would not be too happy with this!)

How can I do write a greasemonkey script without sharing it with others?

• 3 You just do it. Writing a greasemonkey script doesn't necessarily involve publishing it anywhere. – user229044 ♦ Commented Aug 31, 2012 at 12:37
• OK. great! can you tell me then how can I run/install the script in my browser without uploading it to the userscripts site – Imdad Commented Aug 31, 2012 at 12:57
• 1 Just make a new script. No part of installing the script involves uploading it anywhere. – user229044 ♦ Commented Aug 31, 2012 at 13:01

The question is not clear. But if you mean, "Can I stop my client from seeing the Greasemonkey script's code and possibly sharing it?"

Then the answer is "NO". Anyone using Firefox can see/edit the script's code via the Greasemonkey menu or the User Scripts tab in the Add-on manager.

This is by design. The producers of Greasemonkey (and most script authors) do not want any possibility of hidden or encrypted scripts being foisted on unsuspecting users.

~~~
Additionally, the script source can be seen by anyone with access to the client-machine's file system.

If you mean:

How can I run/install the script in my browser without uploading it to the userscripts site?

That's easy...

1. Save your script to to a file, EG MyScript.user.js. Keep track of where you saved it, and make sure it's not in a system temp folder.
2. In Firefox, choose Open File (CtrlO).
3. Navigate to where you'd saved your script and open it.
4. Greasemonkey will pop up a dialog asking if you want to install the script. Press Install.

See "Installing Scripts" in the documentation.

Make site with a link like this

<a href="http://yourserver./yourscript.user.js">Install special script xx</a> 

and save your script at

http://yourserver./yourscript.user.js

Grease Monkey and Tamper Monkey will see a javascript file and if it ends with user.js it will ask to install it. Give the url with the install link to your client. You can protect your site with a password.
