# Install

{% hint style="info" %}
**Always install the official Bloom Extension.** We are not responsible for unofficial or fake versions.

The Bloom Extension has been reviewed and verified by Google. It only adds Bloom buy, sell, and snipe controls to supported trading terminals. It never asks for private keys, wallet access, or transaction signatures, and it does not store or collect user data.

The installation process is the same for both the Solana and the EVM extension. Both extensions are managed through [Bloom Manager](https://manager.bloombot.app).

### Install Options

Bloom ships two Extensions: one for Solana and one for EVM (ETH, BSC, Base). Install the one that matches the chain you trade on. You can install both side by side.

#### Chrome Web Store (recommended)

* **Solana**: [Bloom Extension on Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bloom-extension/akdiolpnpplhaoedmednpobkhmkophmg)
* **EVM**: [Bloom EVM Extension on Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bloom-evm-extension/gccnalnnfmmdkianiaiccfnjiailgaco)

#### ZIP download (manual install)

If you prefer to side-load the Extension, download the ZIP from the Bloom website and load it as an unpacked extension in Chrome.

1. Open [bloombot.app/#extension](https://www.bloombot.app/#extension).
2. Expand the <kbd>Add to Chrome</kbd> dropdown and choose **Download .zip Solana** or **Download .zip EVM**.
3. In Chrome, go to `chrome://extensions`, enable **Developer mode**, and click <kbd>Load unpacked</kbd>. Select the unzipped folder.
