Installation Instructions

The extension can either be downloaded from the Visual Studio Code Extensions Marketplace or by installing manually.

Manual installation

Follow these steps to generate and install the Seismic VSCode Extension .vsix file using the command line:

Prerequisites

Ensure the VSCode CLI (code) is installed and available in your system's PATH. You can check this by running:

code --version

If the command is not recognized, enable it in VSCode:

• Open the Command Palette
• Type Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH and select it.
• Restart your terminal for the changes to take effect.

1. Produce the .vsix File

To generate the .vsix file from the extension source code:

1. Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system.

2. Clone the repository for the Seismic extension:

   git clone https://github.com/SeismicSystems/seismic-vscode-extension.git
   cd seismic-vscode-extension
   

   or if you have access via SSH:

   git clone git@github.com/SeismicSystems/seismic-vscode-extension.git
   cd seismic-vscode-extension
   
   

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

4. Package the extension into a .vsix file:

   npm run package
   

   This will create a file named something like seismic-vscode-extension-0.1.0.vsix in the current directory.

2. Install the .vsix file

1. Install the .vsix File in VSCode:

   code --install-extension seismic-vscode-extension-0.1.0.vsix
   

Replace seismic-vscode-extension-0.1.0.vsix with the actual filename of the .vsix file generated.

2. Verify installation

code --list-extensions

Usage Instructions

This extension is designed for developers actively working with Seismic-based tools or contributing to the Seismic ecosystem. To get started after installation,

1. Open Your Project:
   Open your Seismic development project in Visual Studio Code.

2. Explore Features:
   Experiment with the available features and workflows to provide valuable feedback to the team.

Contributing and Support

Since this is a highly experimental extension, code contributions are currently limited to core Seismic team members. However, we are constantly looking for high-quality feedback from developers via the following channels:
