title: Installing Extensions description: "Browse, install, and manage extensions from the Zed Extension Gallery." #

Installing Extensions {#installing-extensions} #

Extensions add functionality to Zed, including languages, themes, and AI tools. Browse and install them from the Extension Gallery.

Open the Extension Gallery with {#kb zed::Extensions}, or select "Zed > Extensions" from the menu bar.

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.
On Windows, the directory is %LOCALAPPDATA%\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.
