Installing PlatformIO IDE from marketplace

[flexmatics]

Hi,

It seems that I'm missing something obvious, but can anyone guide me what should I do to get Platformio IDE installed into code-server? Currently, it is not being found in the marketplace. Thanks.

Using this version from LXC container:
code-server: v4.9.1
Code: 1.73.1
Commit: 6261075646f055b99068d3688932416f2346dd3b

It looks like there is a licensing issue preventing it from being added to the marketplace: platformio/platformio-vscode-ide#1802 (comment)

I think I have an idea to get Platformio onto code-server. This is a trick that has to work. So, @flexmatics you first have to go to the VS Code Marketplace in your browser and head to Platformio's extension page. Once you are there, hit F3 and search "download". Find the "Download VSIX" link, then get the VSIX file onto your computer. Push it to your container(use any method you want, you can try scp too) and run this command:

code-server --install-extension <name-of-vsix-file>.vsix

Now I bet Platformio will have to be installed. If not, then it could mean Platformio has compatibility issues with code-server.

Thanks both for suggestions.
