*Manually installing the builder should only be done if there's an issue with the current version of the builder that you're using. If you're unsure if the issue that you're seeing is related to the current version of the builder please contact support. If you're looking to update your current version of the Appcues Builder the Update section in Trouble Shooting the Appcues Builder will walk you through the steps.

This guide will walk you through manually installing the most recent version of the Appcues builder. 
The updated version can bring you to a version of the builder that's more recent than the currently published Chrome Store version. 
This can be useful in the case of issues with the version that was loaded through the Chrome Store.
