How to Create Your Own Chrome App

This process takes about 5 minutes.
Open Your Favourite Text Editor

In this instructable, I will be using Text.
Type in the Following Text
{
"name": "Type the apps name here",
"version": "0.1",
"manifest_version": 2,
"description": "Type in the description",
"app": {
"urls": ["http://whateverthelinkis"],
"launch": {
"web_url": "http://www.yourlink"
}
},
"icons": { "128": "an icon that can be found on iconfinder"
}
}
Save Your Document
Save your document as manifest.json
Remember to save the manifest.json file into a folder that also contains the icon. (This must be a new folder, you cannot use the downloads folder)
Upload It to Chrome

Click on the more tools section in the settings drop-down menu and click on extensions.
Upload It to Chrome (continued)

Click on "load unpacked extension" and select your file.
YOU ARE DONE!
