Uh hello guys in this video I'll show
0:02
you a website by which you can actually
0:04
download a VS code extension vsix
0:08
file and then install it through that.
0:11
So by default you go to extensions tab
0:14
and whichever extension you want to
0:16
install. Normally you search the
0:18
extension name.
0:20
So this is the recommended way by which
0:22
you actually install any VS code
0:24
extension you have the install button.
0:26
So if for some reason you can't install
0:29
the extension by this way, there is also
0:31
a second way by which you can do that.
0:33
So once you click this tab, you see this
0:36
option install from VSIX file. So once
0:40
you click this, you need to install or
0:42
upload that file. So I will show you a
0:45
website here. I've given the link of
0:47
this website in the description of the
0:49
video. So this website is really useful.
0:52
It allows you to directly paste the
0:55
marketplace URL. So visual studio
0:59
marketplace is actually the area by
1:01
which so whatever extension you are
1:04
looking forward. So you basically copy
1:07
paste this full URL. So just right click
1:11
copy and here you come to this website
1:16
and paste the full URL and it actually
1:20
have this download button right here
1:22
once you click the download button. So
1:25
from here you can actually select your
1:28
PLA platform and uh it will
1:31
automatically detect your platform here
1:34
and once you click it it will download
1:37
that VSIX file. So as you can see so
1:42
once you downloaded that file you can
1:44
manually install extension as well
1:48
through this VSIX file.
1:51
So I found this website to be very
1:53
useful. You can even search directly as
1:55
well.
1:57
As soon as you search it, the extensions
2:00
will come right here. As soon as you
2:02
type the name right here, again you
2:04
click download.
2:09
So once again it will download this VSIX
2:13
file. So this is really useful website I
2:17
found. I basically use it if any
2:21
extension is not installing
2:23
directly. Then I download this VSIX file
2:27
of the VS code extension and then
2:29
manually download this by selecting this
2:32
option install from VXIS.
2:35
So if you want to check that website the
2:38
link is given in the description. So
2:40
once you download you can manually
2:42
install this extension through that VSIX
2:45
file. So definitely check this website.
