Open VSX Registry

Open VSX Registry is an open-source alternative to the VS Code Marketplace for VS Code-compatible editors that cannot access the official marketplace due to licensing restrictions.

For VS Code-compatible editors like VSCodium, Gitpod, Eclipse Theia, and Windsurf, you can browse and install directly from the Kilo Code page on Open VSX Registry.

  1. Open your editor
  2. Access the Extensions view (Side Bar icon or Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
  3. Your editor should be pre-configured to use Open VSX Registry
  4. Search for "Kilo Code"
  5. Select "Kilo Code" and click Install
  6. Reload the editor if prompted

:::note If your editor isn't automatically configured for Open VSX Registry, you may need to set it as your extension marketplace in settings. Consult your specific editor's documentation for instructions. :::

Manual Installation from VSIX
