Install Extensions Manually ( .zxp )

Hold Your Fingers

Only use this method if you tried and failed to install the extension using the recommended method.



🌱

Install

  1. Rename  file.zxp  to  file.zip 
  2. Unzip  file.zip  so you are left with a folder named  📂 file 
  3. Move the folder to one of the following locations:
    • PC: C:/Users/*username*/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/CEP/extensions
    • Mac: /Users/*username*/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions
  4. Restart your Adobe Application and you are good to go!
Hold on! One of my folders is missing!

If you can't find  .../Adobe/CEP/extensions  on your computer, simply create it yourself.
