To install extensions, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Extensions panel using Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X on macOS.

  2. In the search bar, type the name of the extension you want to install.

  3. Click Install on the extension.

You can also search and install extensions from the marketplace: > marketplace.visualstudio.com/vscode.
