Installation
For individuals
To install the NitraCloud browser extension as an individual user, follow these simple steps:
- Open your Google Chrome browser.
- Visit the Chrome Web Store.
- In the search bar, type "NitraCloud CMMC & ITAR Compliance".
- Click on the NitraCloud extension in the search results.
- On the extension's page, click the "Add to Chrome" button.
- A pop-up will appear asking for permissions. Review the permissions and click "Add extension" to proceed.
- The extension will now download and install automatically.
- Once installed, you'll see the NitraCloud icon in your browser's toolbar.
After installation, the extension will be active and ready to use. You may need to refresh any open tabs for the extension to take effect on currently open pages.
If you're using a different Chromium-based browser (like Microsoft Edge or Brave), the process is similar, but you may need to enable Chrome Web Store installations for your specific browser first.

The extension will now be automatically installed for all users in the selected organizational unit.
