Install Attendance Helper

1. Download monash-attendance-helper.zip. It contains only the extension, built from the latest version on GitHub.

2. Unzip it somewhere you will keep, such as Documents. On Windows, right-click the file and choose Extract All. On macOS, double-click it. Chrome loads the extension from this folder, so do not delete it afterwards.

3. In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode (top right).

4. Click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped monash-attendance-helper folder. You should see manifest.json directly inside the folder you pick.

5. Click the puzzle icon next to the address bar and pin Monash Attendance Helper.

6. In the same Chrome profile, sign in to Monash Attendance, Gmail, Moodle, and Ed if your units use it.

7. Open the extension’s Settings (click its icon, or right-click it and choose Options). Keep automatic discovery on, set this semester’s Week 1 Monday, and pick your reminder times.

8. Click Save, then test now. It scans in the background and tells you how many classes and codes it found. You can close the settings page while it runs.

Tip

Chrome may show a banner about developer mode extensions when it starts. That is normal for extensions loaded by hand. Click away from it.

Update

Download the zip again, unzip it over the same folder, then click the reload arrow on the extension’s card in chrome://extensions. The version shown there should match the changelog.

Already use git?

Clone the repository and load its extension folder instead. After git pull, reload the extension in chrome://extensions.

Remove

Click Remove on the extension’s card in chrome://extensions. That deletes its settings, results and log. Then delete the folder.
