This extension uses the API interacts with Peirce VSCode API repository.
If the API must be running somewhere in order to use most of the extension's features.
Currently, the API is only set to run locally on 0.0.0.0. This will work for development. When deploying, host the API on a node with a globally resolvable IP address and change the IP in this extension to point to the node hosting the API in the file src/peirce.ts.
Creating a VSIX file for instalation
"Compile" the extension as usual
npm install
Install vsce
npm install -g vsce
Create the VSIX file
vsce package
To Install a Compiled VSIX file
