How can I install chrome extension without being online (not accessing webstore)

[Naigil Joseph]

My chrome extension works along with the external application that I have my machine.
Also my site is an internally hosted site and the network is a private network with no internet connection. So don't have access to chrome store.

I want to install my extension in the client machines without much problems for the users (like Developer mode, manual installation from the extensions page)

What are the options that I have?

If they use the Professional edition of Windows, you can do this via group policy.

See -

https://www.chromium.org/administrators

I think this is the relevant policy -

Be careful when messing with group policy.  Depending on the corporate environment, failure to get permission from security to mess with that could result in termination.  It can be viewed as an attempt at privilege escalation.  Dot your i's and cross your t's and you'll be fine.

Looks like group policy is not an option for me. It wont be approved.

Can I distribute extension along with my external application installation? Is there a way to install extension from a local folder for Windows now (I am targeting only Windows machines) ?

I could do it with "Path and version". I thought only "Update_URL" works. Only problem with this is that chrome has to be restarted.
Not sure if there is a better way..

[Antony Sargent]

Off the top of my head, here are the supported options for installation

Distribution to users:

-Webstore either directly (preferred) or using inline install

-External install (on windows, registry entry must use update_url pointing at webstore)

-Enterprise policy  (on windows, machines must be joined to a domain and policies must be pushed via GPO)

Development mode - *not* intended for distribution to end users:

-"Load unpacked extension" button on chrome://extensions page

-Using the --load-extension=<path> command line flag

-Drag/drop of .crx file onto chrome://extensions page (must be an extension hosted in the webstore though, or will get disabled)

 -Enterprise policy  (on windows, machines must be joined to a domain and policies must be pushed via GPO)

Hello Antony Sargent, Can you explain what's "machines must be joined to a domain"?

It's a concept used in enterprise management of windows computers:
