Hi

Sorry for the stupid question but I may be in IT but I don't specialise in web/coding and anything like that but our delightful NHS run all their cack in Java and seeing as there is no Java in Chrome/Edge they want us to do some weird stuff with some extension.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to apply it. I've followed the step by step guide below but can't even figure it out. Nor the github way as there is simpy jargon on that page I don't understand.

Any help would be grateful cheers

UPDATE 24-1-2020 at which time the latest version of Chrome was 79.0.3945.130
It appears in the latest versions of chrome. You can only install in developer mode. Chrome now checks to ensure that extensions are packaged using CRX3, which our chrome extension wasn’t .

https://github.com/ahwayakchih/crx3#issues

As an alternative method to applying developer mode:
1. Unzip the crx file into a new directory
2. In chrome://extensions select the load unpacked button
3. Select the new folder where you unzipped the file, , no files will be shown (making appear it is empty, which it isn’t)
4. The extension should now appear on the extensions page.
 
thanks for the info, we don't have domain gp so it's a nightmare deploying this. I'll check this out anyway.

I know our latest builds have autopilot and nhs credential manager. The issue is the current kit out there, they're all now unable to access NHS smartcard stuff :(
