# Configure Google Chrome to run actions

To learn how to protect your browser from potentially dangerous installations, see [Managing Chrome Extensions](https://www.lansweeper.com/pro-tips/managing-chrome-extensions/).

To run asset and user actions in Google Chrome, you first need to install Lansweeper's Chrome extension.

## Install the extension components

1. Download and run [the Lansweeper Chromium Extension installer](https://cdn.lansweeper.com/download/Lansweeper%20Chromium%20Extension/LansweeperChromiumExtension_6.0.exe).
2. Select **Next**. The executable adds a Lansweeper folder with the extension components to `Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application` on your computer. It also attempts to add the extension, which communicates with the extension components, to your browser configuration.
3. Restart Chrome. To ensure that Chrome is fully stopped before restarting, open Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), search for the chrome.exe process(es) under **Processes** and select **End Task**.
4. Verify the extension is enabled. Enter "chrome://extensions/" in Chrome's address bar, press **Enter**, and enable the extension if it's not already enabled.  

If the extension does not appear in the extension list, install it from the Chrome Web Store.

## Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store

Make sure you've installed the extension components first, as the extension won't work without the extension components.

1. Browse to the [Lansweeper extension in the Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lansweeper-shell-execute/nnpeignlpkmbhjegcbfacbgcnhhjlghp).
2. Select **Add To Chrome**.
3. Select **Add extension** in the resulting pop-up.
4. Verify the extension is enabled. Enter "chrome://extensions/" in Chrome's address bar, press **Enter**, and enable the extension if it's not already enabled.

## Grant the extension permission to run actions

After installation, you must manually give the extension permission to execute actions on your machine.

              New requirement in version 6.0

              

This step is required in version 6.0 and was not needed in earlier versions. Without it, actions won't execute even if the extension is installed and enabled.

1. Pin the Lansweeper Chromium Extension icon to the browser toolbar.

If the icon is not pinned, in your browser, select the **Extensions** icon in the toolbar, then select **Manage Extensions**. Find the **Lansweeper Chromium Extension**, select **Details > Pin to toolbar**.
2. Go to the Lansweeper Web Console and select the **Lansweeper Chromium Extension** icon in the browser toolbar.
3. In the pop-up, select **Enable on this site**.
