acvetkov / download-crx Goto Github PK

Hi, I am thinking about using this in a build script, but I ran into the following

npm install --save-dev download-crx

I get the same error if I 'npm install download-crx' instead of --save-dev, so something is amiss.

The download-crx package is using the old endpoint which will retrieve CRX2s [1], and so newer versions of Chrome will disallow the installation. download-crx (and other similar downloading libraries) needs to update their code to request CRX3s, and then this would work in all modern Chrome versions (CRX3s have been supported for several versions now).
