Sorry about this, we have a bug where installing extensions doesn't work when doing it inside code-server's terminal. Will fix for 3.5.1.

Two workarounds for now are to run the command outside of code-server or to unset the socket environment variable (code-server is trying to use this to open a file in the existing instance):

VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI= code-server --install-extension <id>
