    How to install the unpacked extension in Chrome

    To install extension manually you need to unzip the extension first. Follow the steps to load the unpacked extension.

    • Goto Chrome Settings using three dots on the top right corner.
      1-2
    • Then Select Extensions.
      Go to extensions
      You may directly open extensions using chrome://extensions
    • Now, Enable developer mode
      developer-mode
    • Click on Load Unpacked and select your Unzip folder.
      LOAD-UNPACKED
      5-3

      Note: You need to select the folder in which the manifest file exists. In the screenshot, we have selected the installer folder inside Unzipped folder as it is the installer folder for our extension.
    • The extension will be installed now.

    Great article
  • Prashant
    Hey Arjun, thank you for this amazing article, I am trying to do just one thing, I just want to make a simple extension that that just acts as website shortcuts, I just click on it and it opens the website. can you please tell me the command or line of code that I need for this to happen, right now I modified your extension to show my desired icon but I can’t put in the website URL successfully, can you please have a look, thank you

    I am trying to use this code from labnol website ( but the problem is it shows as an app and not as an extension, I want it to show in the URL bar, other than that it does everything else)

    {
    “name”: “Your website name”,
    “description”: “Your website description in 132 characters or less.”,
    “app”: {
    “urls”: [“http://www.labnol.org/”],
    “launch”: {
    “web_url”: “http://www.labnol.org/”
    }
    },
    “manifest_version”: 2,
    “update_url”: “http://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx”,
    “version”: “0.1”,
    “icons”: {
    “128”: “icon.png”
    }
    }

    Your extension code shows in the icon but I can’t seem to figure out how to put in a website URL 😥

      Hello,

      One way is to add popup to your extension icon and then provide information,link or button in popup.
      To add popup, add below code to manifest
      "browser_action": {
      "default_title": "title display when user hover on icon",
      "default_icon": "your app icon",
      "default_popup": "popup.html"
      },

      and add popup.html parallel to manifest file.

    • Arjun Singh (Moderator)
      You need to cross verify your manifest and JS files for errors.
      Further, to check errors go to chrome://extensions/ you will get error on your extension, developer mode should be enabled.
  • qwerty
    It just says that manifest file is missing or unreadable
    • Arjun Singh (Moderator)
      You need to check your manifest file, Most probably it is missing some required values.
  • Lennert
    how do you unzip something??
    • Arjun Singh (Moderator)
      If you are building your extension you do not need to zip/unzip simply select your folder while loading unpacked extension.

      Further, To unzip right click on the zip file and check for extract option.

  • qwerty
    How do u save it in files?
    • qwerty
      Plz tell me plz
      • Arjun Singh (Moderator)
        You need to create a directory for your extension, in which you need to create a file name as `manifest.json` for your extension and add all other resources in this directory.
        • xxs
