installing crx-less web apps

To install CRX-less Web Apps a manifest.json file is required.
Then the function chrome.app.install() has to be called.
Logically the app should install, but it doesn´t. Chrome informs me then about a but:

TypeError: Property 'install' of object #<Object> is not a function
Enable is about:flags

It could be the case that the "CRX-less Web Apps" flag has to be activated, but this isn´t possible in the way as described in the chrome docs in the newest versions of Google Chrome or Chrome Canary.

Hopefully someone knows an answer to the problem.

A not working example is http://www.htmlfivewow.com/demos/terminal/terminal.html. You can try it by simply typing install.

The CRX-less apps experiment has been removed from Chrome (at revision 188261).

The error you report is because typeof chrome.app.install is "undefined".

I have filed issues 245161 to clean up doc, and 245162 to remove chrome.app.install.
