1. Open your editor
2. Access the Extensions view (Side Bar icon or Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
3. Your editor should be pre-configured to use Open VSX Registry
4. Search for "PostQode"
5. Select "PostQode" and click Install

note

If your editor isn't automatically configured for Open VSX Registry, you may need to set it as your extension marketplace in settings. Consult your specific editor's documentation for instructions.
