Installing Extensions

You can search for extensions by launching the Zed Extension Gallery by pressing {#kb zed::Extensions} , opening the command palette and selecting {#action zed::Extensions} or by selecting "Zed > Extensions" from the menu bar.

Here you can view the extensions that you currently have installed or search and install new ones.

Installation Location

• On macOS, extensions are installed in ~/Library/Application Support/Zed/extensions.
• On Linux, they are installed in either $XDG_DATA_HOME/zed/extensions or ~/.local/share/zed/extensions.

This directory contains two subdirectories:

• installed, which contains the source code for each extension.
• work which contains files created by the extension itself, such as downloaded language servers.

Auto installing

To automate extension installation/uninstallation see the docs for auto_install_extensions.
