  IEEE Xplore Unlocker





  



**A browser extension to get locked content from ieee xplore using sci-hub.**



   



IEEE Xplore Unlocker uses the doi from the Xplore page to insert a button with a link to the corresponding sci-hub page.

## Manual Installation

### Chromium

- Download and unzip `ieee-xplore-unlocker.zip` ([latest release desirable](https://github.com/Roshan-R/ieee-xplore-unlocker/releases)).

- Rename the unzipped directory to `ieee-xplore-unlocker`

    - When you later update manually, replace the **content** of the `ieee-xplore-unlocker` folder with the **content** of the latest zipped version.

    - This will ensure that all the extension settings will be preserved

    - As long as the extension loads **from same folder path from which it was originally installed**, all your settings will be preserved.

- Go to chromium/chrome *Extensions*.

- Click to check *Developer mode*.

- Click *Load unpacked extension...*.

- In the file selector dialog:

    - Select the directory `ieee-xplore-unlocker` which was created above.

    - Click *Open*.

The extension will now be available in your chromium/chromium-based browser.

Remember that you have to update manually also.
