Downloading & Installing the Acalytics Chrome Extension

2020 | By Lindsay Gallagher | Filed in: Orientation Materials, Tools.

To simplify the publication download and crosswalk process, we’ve worked with a programmer to create a Chrome extension. You will need to be using Google Chrome as your browser to use this tool. Follow the instructions below for downloading and using the tool and watch this YouTube tutorial.

  • Go to the following site: https://github.com/jiangdev/acalytics-chrome-extension
  • Click “clone or download” (green button on the right-hand side) and then click “download zip”
  • I like to click the download’s right side arrow and choose “show in folder” and then drag the file “acalytics-chrome-extension-master.zip” to my desktop so I can see it more easily
  • Open that zipped folder and find another folder inside with the same name. Drag that onto the desktop.
  • Go back to chrome browser
  • Go to “extensions” in Settings
  • Turn on Developer Mode (upper right-hand corner)
  • Click “load unpacked”
  • Use the file explorer to find the “acalytics-chrome-extension-master” unzipped folder and click on that, then click “Select Folder.” You will see an icon of a scholar on your extensions bar now- it should be gray.
  • Now you have the extension! Follow the instructions here for more information about using the extension.
