# Installing Extensions
|
|
|
|
You can search for extensions by launching the Zed Extension Gallery by pressing `cmd-shift-x` (macOS) or `ctrl-shift-x` (Linux), opening the command palette and selecting `zed: extensions` or by selecting "Zed > Extensions" from the menu bar.
|
|
|
|
Here you can view the extensions that you currently have installed or search and install new ones.
|
|
|
|
## 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`.
|
|
|
|
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](../configuring-zed.md#auto-install-extensions).
