To load an unpacked extension in developer mode:
- Go to the Extensions page by entering chrome://extensions in a new tab. (By design chrome:// URLs are not linkable.)
- Alternatively, click on the Extensions menu puzzle button and select Manage Extensions at the bottom of the menu.
- Or, click the Chrome menu, hover over More Tools, then select Extensions.
-
Enable Developer Mode by clicking the toggle switch next to Developer mode.
-
Click the Load unpacked button and select the extension directory.
Ta-da! The extension has been successfully installed. If no extension icons were included in the manifest, a generic icon will be created for the extension.
