Could not find and install the official VS Code extension #36028
Description
Description
Based on the documentation I am trying to install opencode VS Code/Codium extension. The doc says the following:
Open VS Code
Open the integrated terminal
Run opencode - the extension installs automatically
Reference: https://opencode.ai/docs/ide/#installation
So when I type opencode in the terminal I get the following error:
opencode : The term 'opencode' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Then I tried to find the extension in the marketplace in VS Code/Codium. The search opencode gives multiple results, so I am confused which exactly one is the official one. Please see the screenshot:
Could you please provide some link to the official extension or any other solution how to find and install the right extension. Would be nice to also update the docs, so other people won't be confused with the installation process as well. Thanks.

First you need to install opencode CLI and make sure Windows can find it. Read all instructions for OpenCode install in https://opencode.ai/docs/. Having said that, as the duplicate issues indicate, the docs are wrong / misleading / out of date so it doesn't work anyway.

Thanks for the reply.
I hope I installed the right extension (https://open-vsx.org/extension/sst-dev/opencode), and it's not some of the clone or fake one, so I am not giving my API keys to someone else (ツ)

You misunderstand. The screenshot of the error you pasted in the report, i.e.:
is Windows telling you that you don't have opencode CLI installed on your system, so of course the command fails. It is the equivalent of typing gibberish and hitting <Return>.
Personally I would never install anything I wasn't 100% sure of.
PS. As the linked bugs have noted, at this point many in the community including myself have no clue how / what / where the official extension is.
