Hi,
I love the extension, and use it on my personal laptop all the time. I would like to use it on my work laptop, but I will need to install it manually as they don't allow extensions. Any clarity on how I can do this, would be greatly appreciated?

Hi Ryan,
Give these steps a try. They are based on the info in the webpages below.
- Download & install node.js
- Open the "footsteps-vscode" folder in a terminal. Install the following dependencies:
npm install -g yarn
npm install webpack webpack-cli
- Also install Microsoft's extension tool:
npm install -g vsce
- Bundle the extension into a VSIX file:
vsce package
- You will now have a VSIX file in the folder. You can deploy this to any machine.
- The first webpage will tell you how to install the extension in VS Code. Search for "VSIX"
