Installing Teleport

Install the Teleport extension in Chrome from the zip download, pin it, and keep it up to date.

Teleport is coming soon to the Chrome Web Store. Until it's listed, you install it from a zip file. It takes about 2 minutes.

Before you start#

• You need Google Chrome on a desktop computer.
• You'll keep a folder on your computer that Chrome loads Teleport from. Pick somewhere you won't clean up by accident, such as Documents/Teleport.

Install from the zip#

1. Go to the download page and click Download the zip.
2. Unzip it into the folder you picked. The folder should contain a file named manifest.json.
3. In Chrome, type chrome://extensions in the address bar and press Enter.
4. Switch on Developer mode in the top right corner.
5. Click Load unpacked and choose the folder that contains manifest.json.
6. Teleport's welcome page opens in a new tab. Create your free account (Google or email and password), then continue with account and onboarding.

What Chrome shows during install#

Chrome lists what the extension can do. Because Teleport's content script runs on the pages you visit to detect job postings, Chrome says it can read and change data on websites. The detection runs on your device. Permissions explained covers every permission and when it's used.

Updating#

Extensions installed from a zip don't update on their own.

1. Download the latest zip from the download page.
2. Replace the files in your Teleport folder with the new ones.
3. Open chrome://extensions and click the reload icon on Teleport's card.

Your profile, saved jobs and settings are kept, because they live in Chrome's extension storage, not in the folder.

Uninstalling#

Open chrome://extensions and click Remove on Teleport's card. This deletes everything Teleport stored in your browser. If you turned on sync, delete your cloud data first from Privacy & data, or it stays in Teleport cloud until you do.
