|
|
||
| Continue is also available on the [Open VSX Registry](https://open-vsx.org/extension/Continue/continue) for editors that support it, including **VSCodium**, **Code - OSS**, and other VS Code alternatives. | ||
|
|
||
| <Steps> | ||
| <Step title="Install from Open VSX"> | ||
| Visit the [Continue page on Open VSX](https://open-vsx.org/extension/Continue/continue) and click `Download` to get the `.vsix` file, or search for "Continue" directly in your editor's extension panel | ||
|
|
||
| <Info> | ||
| The Open VSX extension panel looks different from the VS Code Marketplace. | ||
| If you are searching from inside your editor, make sure it is configured to | ||
| use the Open VSX registry (this is the default for VSCodium) | ||
| </Info> | ||
|
|
||
| </Step> | ||
|
|
||
| <Step title="Install the Extension"> | ||
| If you downloaded the `.vsix` file manually, install it via the command palette: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Open the command palette (`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `P`) | ||
| 2. Run **Extensions: Install from VSIX...** | ||
| 3. Select the downloaded `.vsix` file | ||
| </Step> | ||
|
|
||
| <Step title="Move to Right Sidebar"> | ||
| The Continue logo will appear on the left sidebar. For a better experience, move Continue to the right sidebar | ||

||
| ### VSCodium Troubleshooting | ||
|
|
||
| If Continue does not appear in the extension search results inside VSCodium, your editor may not be configured to use the Open VSX registry. You can verify and fix this by checking the `product.json` configuration file for your platform: | ||
|
|
||
| | Platform | Typical `product.json` location | | ||
| |---|---| | ||
| | **Linux** (system install) | `/usr/share/codium/resources/app/product.json` | | ||
| | **Linux** (Flatpak) | `/var/lib/flatpak/app/com.vscodium.codium/current/active/files/share/codium/resources/app/product.json` | | ||
| | **macOS** | `/Applications/VSCodium.app/Contents/Resources/app/product.json` | | ||
| | **Windows** | `C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\VSCodium\resources\app\product.json` | | ||

||
|
|
||
| Open `product.json` and verify that the `extensionsGallery` section points to the Open VSX registry: | ||
|
|
||
| ```json | ||
| "extensionsGallery": { | ||
| "serviceUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery", | ||
| "itemUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item", | ||
| "resourceUrlTemplate": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/unpkg/{publisher}/{name}/{version}/{path}" | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| <Warning> | ||
| A common mistake is using `https://marketplace.visualstudio.com` URLs here -- | ||
| those are for the proprietary VS Code Marketplace and will not work in | ||
| VSCodium. The correct service URL is `https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery`. | ||
| </Warning> | ||
|
|
||
| After saving changes to `product.json`, restart VSCodium. You should then be able to search for and install Continue from the extensions panel. | ||
