How to install VS code extension manually?

Question

I am not able to download any extension via VS Code on my office system due to the proxy. Is there a way that I can do it manually by downloading and placing the downloaded files at the right place?

Solution 1

Download the extension from VSCode marketplace, it'll be a .vsix file, then do like the image below.

Solution 2

You can also use the command-line to install extensions from VSIX files using the --install-extension parameter.

code --install-extension /path/to/vsix

eg: code --install-extension vscodevim.vim

Solution 3

Just in case u have a same UI as mine. Happy coding!
