Freeboard can be run entirely from a local hard drive. Simply download/clone the repository and open index.html. When using Chrome, you may run into issues with CORS when accessing JSON based APIs if you load from your local hard-drive— in this case you can switch to using JSONP or load index.html and run from a local or remote web server.

See http://freeboard.github.io/freeboard/docs/plugin_example.html for info on how to build plugins for freeboard.

Just edit index.html and add a link to your javascript file near the end of the head.js script loader, like:

...
"path/to/my/plugin/file.js",
$(function()
{ //DOM Ready
    freeboard.initialize(true);
});
