Hi:

I just setup [vscode server](https://github.com/cdr/code-server) on kubernetes. However, it doesn’t have particle workbench extension since it’s not connected to the vscode marketplace. I had to install it manually using the vsix file (1.4.2)

The install went well but i don’t see any particle commands in the vscode command palette. I tried reinstalling it but no dice. Anyone using code-server and manually installed the workbench extension successfully? Could use some help to get it up and running. Thx.

Did you install all the required extensions?

[particle.particle-vscode-pack](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=particle.particle-vscode-pack)  
[particle.particle-vscode-core](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=particle.particle-vscode-core)

As an alternative solution, you can install [neopo](https://neopo.xyz/), which will give you most of the functionality of Particle Workbench through the terminal.

@nrobinson2000 I didn’t install the other extensions. I assumed the pack came bundled with all the other particle ones. That did it for me. Thanks!
