## How to load a DevTools Extension
This document outlines the process for manually loading an extension.
You may also try
[electron-devtools-installer](https://github.com/GPMDP/electron-devtools-installer),
a third-party tool the downloads the chrome extension directly from the
Chrome WebStore.
To load an extension in Electron, you need to download it in Chrome browser,
locate its filesystem path, and then load it by calling the
`BrowserWindow.addDevToolsExtension(extension)` API.
