+# Install from VSIX
+
+Some IDEs support installing extensions directly from your local machine. This can be faster and more private than downloading from a registry.
+
+All releases are published to https://github.com/mark-wiemer-org/ahkpp/releases as vsix files.
+
+Once you have the file downloaded, you can open your IDE, go to the extensions view, and select "Install from VSIX..."

+
+Once installed, you should see an info message prompting you to restart extensions:

+
+Finally, you can manage which version of an extension you have installed from the extensions view:
