Manually Installing/No Extension Store

_{"I don't know how to install a zip file!"}

• If given a zip file for your installation of PreMiD, it will be browser-dependent on how to navigate to the correct pages.
• Know whether your browser is based on Chromium, Safari or Firefox's architecture. This will make a difference for installation and change the base file that you need.
  • Each browser generally uses one of these three backend systems. Opera/Opera GX/Edge all use Chromium, as an example.

Firefox-Based Extension

• Navigate to the top right of your browser page. Click the Puzzle-Piece icon.
• Under the menu, select Extensions.

• When in the Extensions menu, you will see a cog at the mid-right corner of the page. Select it.
• You will see "Install Extension from File."
• Select your PreMiD zip-file. You do not have to unzip it.
• Enable the extension.

Chromium-Based Extension

• Navigate to the top right of your browser page. Click the Puzzle-Piece or box-shaped icon.
  • Between browsers this may look different. This demonstration was captured on Opera GX.
• Under the menu, select Manage Extensions.

• When in the Extensions menu, you can either select Load Unpacked Extension or grab the zip-file from your download location and drag it into the extension screen.
• Enable the extension.

Post-Installation

• Open your Extensions menu and pin PreMiD for easy access later.
• Click the PreMiD extension to bring up the Discord login menu.

• After logging in, the Red Exclamation Point (!) will disappear. You can now use PreMiD normally.
• Manually installing has no negative impact on your ability to use any of the PreMiD functions.
• If you are installing manually as an update, be sure to remove the previous install from your extensions menu.
• If updating via manual installation, you will have to visit the PreMiD Store to re-add your non-default presences.

NOTE

These steps generally remain the same between installations.
