See below for installing an extension from the cli.
If you have your own custom marketplace, it is possible to point code-server to it by setting
`$SERVICE_URL` and `$ITEM_URL` to point to it.
## How do I configure the marketplace URL?
If you have your own marketplace that implements the VS Code Extension Gallery API, it is possible to
point code-server to it by setting `$SERVICE_URL` and `$ITEM_URL`. These correspond directly
to `serviceUrl` and `itemUrl` in VS Code's `product.json`.
While you can technically use Microsoft's marketplace with these, please do not do so as it
is against their terms of use. See [above](#differences-compared-to-vs-code). These variables
are most valuable to our enterprise customers for whom we have a self hosted marketplace product.
## Where are extensions stored?

For other browsers you'll have to remap keybindings unfortunately.
## Differences compared to Theia?
[Theia](https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia) is a browser IDE loosely based on VS Code. It uses the same
text editor library named [Monaco](https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor) and the same
extension API but everything else is very different. It also uses [open-vsx.org](https://open-vsx.org)
for extensions which has an order of magnitude less extensions than our marketplace.
See [#1473](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1473).
You can't just use your VS Code config in Theia like you can with code-server.
To summarize, code-server is a patched fork of VS Code to run in the browser whereas
Theia takes some parts of VS Code but is an entirely different editor.
