In order to pack the extension, follow these steps:
- When your app is ready, go to Tools > Extensions in Chrome and click Pack extension...
- Select the folder on your desktop that contains the manifest.json file. Entering a private key is optional.
- Click Pack Extension. You will receive a confirmation window, telling you to keep the .pem (the private key) file safe
- Put the .crx file that's saved on your desktop in the same folder where you have the manifest.json file. (crx is a .zip file)
- Uninstall the unpacked version of the Chrome app so it won't conflict with the packed app.
- Drag and drop the new .crx file into Chrome browser to install the packed app.
