### Installing VSIX Extensions via the Command Line
139+
140+
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`
143+
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
147+
```
148+
4. Install in code-server
149+
```sh
150+
code-server --install-extension stylelint.vsix
151+
```
152+
