The my_user is my user and you will have the name of your user.
Use the next command to build an XPI.

jpm xpi |
Into this moment the addon is not signed. If you use about:config will see this:
Use this link to submit the addon. You need to upload your XPI file and also to follow the steps from mozilla website.
When you done the you can see your addon.
My default example addon version 0.0.1 can be found here: free-tutorials.org addon.
The addon is not signed yet so will need to set xpinstall.signatures.required to false from about:config if you want to install it.
I will make another tutorial about how to do the signed process.
