I'd like to install the latest Moonlight version to use it with Google Chrome (not Chromium)

  • I just tried that, and it worked. Before it would say "Apps extensions and user scripts cannot be added from this website" but when I went to Chrome://extensions and dragged it in there, it installed perfectly. Thanks :) – Devon Feb 19 '13 at 06:52
  • Still get the error "Apps extensions and user scripts cannot be added from this website" even when I drag the .crx-file to the "**chrome://chrome/extensions/**"-tab. –  May 01 '13 at 19:21
  • @pinkpony Start Chrome/Chromium with the `--enable-easy-off-store-extension-install` flag. – Rob W May 09 '13 at 10:55

Take a look at the Moonlight project page http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/download.aspx (this link returns 403. Use this alternative link):

Steps to install Moonlight

  1. Download the .crx file from here (alternative link: here).

  2. Open chrome://chrome/extensions/ in a new tab and drag the the .crx file onto the page.

Hope this helps.

    The Moonlight has a new website at http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page but I couldn't find the Chrome plugin from there, so the plugin may no longer be maintained. – papukaija Jul 17 '13 at 09:34
  • From one of the suggested links above I found the following google drive page: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0xVGvAbM6Zkb2YzQnhyZXVmYzg&usp=sharing#list – sergico Nov 23 '13 at 16:49

you could have a crack at this:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

good luck!
