Install browser extensions offline

Chromium-based web browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge use plugin files that are in the .crx format. These files are available along with the Bot Agent installation and can be used for installing the browser extensions offline.

Add extensions manually

Consider a scenario where you must install the Microsoft Edge extension. Use the following steps to install the extension file manually from the Bot Agent installation folder:
  1. Navigate to the Bot Agent installation folder:
    C:\Program Files\Automation Anywhere\Bot Agent\AABrowserAgent
  2. Open edge://extensions/ using the Microsoft Edge browser.

    The Microsoft Edge Extensions page is displayed.

  3. Drag the fnmjcdajlonpigpcfnemeikipmolbfii.crx file from the Bot Agent installation folder into the Extensions page.
  4. Click Add extension.

    The Microsoft Edge extension is added.

Note: Similarly, to install Google Chrome extension, you can use the Google Chrome browser and open chrome://extensions/ to go to the Extensions page and drag the bboccnojhhoegfffpcllbeigipedjedf.crx file.
