Roo Code is a VS Code extension that brings AI-powered coding assistance directly to your editor. Install using one of these methods:
|
|
1. **VS Code Marketplace (Recommended)** - fastest method for standard VS Code and Cursor users
|
|
2. **Open VSX Registry** - for VS Code-compatible editors like VSCodium
|
|
|
|
## VS Code Marketplace
|
|
|
|
1. Open VS Code
|
|
2. Access Extensions: Click the Extensions icon in the Activity Bar or press `Ctrl+Shift+X` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd+Shift+X` (macOS)
|
|
3. Search for "Roo Code"
|
|
4. Select "Roo Code" by RooVeterinaryInc and click **Install**
|
|
5. Reload VS Code if prompted
|
|
|
|
After installation, find the Roo Code icon (<KangarooIcon />) in the Activity Bar to open the Roo Code panel.
