Install in VSCodium

VSCodium is the open-source build of VS Code without Microsoft telemetry. It uses the Open VSX Registry, where SF Veritas is available.

Prerequisites​

  • VSCodium (latest version recommended)

VSCodium connects to Open VSX Registry by default, so you can install directly:

Method 1: Search in VSCodium​

  1. Open VSCodium
  2. Open the Extensions view:
    • Click the Extensions icon in the Activity Bar, or
    • Press Ctrl+Shift+X (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+X (macOS)
  3. Search for "SF Veritas"
  4. Click Install on the "SF Veritas" extension
  5. The extension will activate automatically

Method 2: Using the Command Line​

codium --install-extension sailfish-ai.sf-veritas-extension

Note: The command is codium instead of code.

Alternative: Install from VSIX​

If you prefer to install from a VSIX file:

  1. Download the VSIX file from Open VSX
  2. In VSCodium, open the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
  3. Click the ... (More Actions) button
  4. Select "Install from VSIX..."
  5. Navigate to and select the downloaded VSIX file
  6. Click Install and reload when prompted

Verify Installation​

  1. Look for the SF Veritas icon in the Activity Bar
  2. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
  3. Type "SF Veritas" and verify the commands appear

VSCodium-Specific Notes​

Using VS Code Marketplace Instead of Open VSX​

VS Code Marketplace Access

If you prefer to use the VS Code Marketplace (which has more extensions available), you can configure VSCodium to connect to it. Add these settings to your product.json or use an extension like "VSCode Marketplace" to enable it.

Alternatively, you can set environment variables before launching VSCodium:

export VSCODE_GALLERY_SERVICE_URL='https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery'
export VSCODE_GALLERY_ITEM_URL='https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items'

After this change, you can search for and install extensions directly from the VS Code Marketplace.

Settings Location​

VSCodium stores settings in a different location than VS Code:

  • Linux: ~/.config/VSCodium/User/settings.json
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/VSCodium/User/settings.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\VSCodium\User\settings.json

Configuration​

Configure the extension through VSCodium settings:

  1. Open Settings (Ctrl+, / Cmd+,)
  2. Search for "SF Veritas"
  3. Adjust settings as needed

Troubleshooting​

Extension not loading​

  1. Check that you're using a recent version of VSCodium
  2. Try reinstalling the extension
  3. Check the Output panel → "SF Veritas" for errors
