Thanks for opening an extension request!

We are currently in the process of switching extension
34+
marketplaces and transitioning over to [Open VSX](https://open-vsx.org/).
35+
Once https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/issues/249 is implemented, we
36+
can fully make this transition. Therefore, we are no longer accepting
37+
new requests for extension requests. We suggest installing the VSIX
38+
file and then installing into code-server as a temporary workaround.
39+
See [docs](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#installing-vsix-extensions-via-the-command-line) for more info."

### Installing an extension
88+

Extensions can be installed from the marketplace using the extensions sidebar in
90+
code-server or from the command line:
91+
92+
```shell
93+
code-server --install-extension <extension id>

is implemented, we can fully make this transition. Therefore, we are no longer
102+

92-
If an extension is not available or does not work, you can grab its VSIX from its Github releases or
93-
build it yourself. Then run the `Extensions: Install from VSIX` command in the Command Palette and
94-
point to the .vsix file.

See below for installing an extension from the cli.
114+
Once you have downloaded the VSIX to the remote machine you can either:
115+
116+
- Run the `Extensions: Install from VSIX` command in the Command Palette.
117+
- Use `code-server --install-extension <path to vsix>`
118+
119+
If the extension exists on another marketplace, you can also download it from there using the same command. For instance, downloading off OpenVSX can be done like this:
120+
121+
```shell
122+
SERVICE_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery ITEM_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item code-server --install-extension <extension id>

### Installing VSIX Extensions via the Command Line
139-

If you're using code-server on a remote machine, it might be easier to install extensions via the command line. Follow these steps:
141-
142-
1. [optional] create a directory to store your extensions: `mkdir plugins`

2. Find the extension you want i.e. `https://open-vsx.org/extension/stylelint/vscode-stylelint` and grab the name and identifier: `stylelint/vscode-stylelint`
144-
3. Download extension to directory:
145-
```sh
146-
curl 'https://open-vsx.org/api/stylelint/vscode-stylelint' | jq '.files.download' | xargs curl --compressed -L -o plugins/stylelint.vsix
