##### Problem

Sometime you want to install an extensions not from chrome store, but dragging it into the `chrome://extensions` will get you this message:

![error-message](https://api.nate-lin.com/images/user-upload/1046a848-df3c-4c51-b27a-ab743e4f03e8.png)

##### Solution

Find your extension by id from this folder on macOS:

```
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions
```

Windows:

```
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
```

And then use `Load Unpacked ` to locate the exentison and then enjoy!

Note: you might need to enable `Developer mode` in `chrome://extension` if not enabled already.
