Installing for Chrome

Chrome extensions are typically installed via the Chrome Web Store, but if you need early access to some changes with Mighty, you can also install an extension locally. Here’s a step-by-step guide to installing a Chrome extension locally that Maestro has provided.

Step 1: Download and unzip the Mighty extension

Maestro will provide you with a link to download the latest Mighty extension. Once that is downloaded, you will need to unzip the files and store them in a location that you will use in a later step.

<aside> ⚠️

This location should not be in your downloads folder as that often doesn’t have the right permissions for Chrome.

NOTE: if this folder gets deleted, the chrome extension will also be deleted

Step 2: Open Chrome's Extensions Page

  1. Open Google Chrome.
  2. In the URL bar, type chrome://extensions and press Enter. This will open the Chrome Extensions management page.

Alternatively, you can access it by:

Step 3: Enable Developer Mode

At the top-right of the Extensions page, toggle Developer mode on. This will allow you to load unpacked extensions.

Step 4: Load the Unpacked Extension

  1. After enabling Developer mode, you’ll see three new buttons appear: Load unpacked, Pack extension, and Update.
  2. Click the Load unpacked button.
