## 5. Installing the Plugin in Yandex Browser

To enable the Robot to work with Yandex Browser, you need to install the plugin:

* Open the browser and go to the "Extensions" section;
* Then launch the file manager and open the folder with the installed Robot:

`/home/user/.config/sherpa-rpa/sherpa-robot` ;

* Navigate to the Chrome folder:

`/home/user/.config/sherpa-rpa/sherpa-robot/Chrome` ;

* Drag the `plugin.crx` file into the browser window;
* Add the extension;
* Close the browser;
* Open a terminal window in the current folder and execute:

`chmod +x install_host.sh` ;

`./install_host.sh` ;

* Launch the browser.

If the Sherpa RPA plugin icon has turned blue, the plugin has been successfully installed.

The plugin can also be installed from the website:

And then perform steps 3, 4, 5.
