close a chrome tab with js using chrome.tab.remove

Question

I want to click on a link and make the open chrome tab (that my page is opened in) to close. Can i use the chrome.tab.remove method to do that? Should i do anything more beforehand in order for this to work. Please advice how to do that in javascript.

window.close();
