By default, Cloud IDE ships with built-in plugins that are managed by Acquia. Therefore, you cannot install or remove them.

On the contrary, you can install extensions from the Open VSX registry, which is a vendor neutral, open source marketplace for VS Code extensions.

Installing an Open VSX extension from the user interface

1. In the menu bar, click on View > Extensions.
2. In the Extensions panel, in the Search box, type the name of the extension that you want to install.

3. Click Install.

   

4. (Optional) To uninstall the extension, click Uninstall.

Installing an Open VSX extension from a .vsix file

1. Download the .vsix file of an extension from the Open VSX registry.

   

2. Place the file in your IDE.
3. In the menu bar, click on View > Extensions.
4. In the Extensions panel, click the ellipsis (…) icon.
5. Click Install from VSIX.
6. In the IDE filesystem pop-up window, browse and select the .vsix file that you downloaded.

7. Click Install.

   

8. (Optional) To uninstall the extension, click Uninstall.
