​
Set Up

Our extension for Visual Studio Code and our plugin for JetBrains are our most popular services. The installation steps for these two are given below. For other IDEs and editors like Eclipse, Visual Studio, Neovim, Google Colab, and more, visit our download page to get started.

These steps do not apply for enterprises on a self-hosted plan. If you are an enterprise user, please refer to the instructions in your enterprise portal.

1

Install Extension

Find the Codeium extension in the VS Code Marketplace and install it.

2

Authorize

After installation, VS Code with prompt you with a notification in the bottom right corner to log in to Codeium. Equivalently, you can log in to Codeium via the profile icon at the bottom of the left sidebar.

If you get an error message indicating that the browser cannot open a link from Visual Studio Code, you may need to update your browser and restart the authorization flow.
If you do not have an account or otherwise are not already logged in online, you will be prompted to create an account or login.

Once you sign in, you will be redirected back to Visual Studio Code via pop-up.

If you are using a browser-based VS Code IDE like GitPod or Codespaces, you will be routed to instructions on how to complete authentication by providing an access token.

Wait for Language Server

Once you are signed in, Codeium will start downloading a language server. This is the program that communicates with our APIs to let you use Codeium’s AI features. The download usually takes ten to twenty seconds, but the download speed may depend on your internet connection. In the meantime, you are free to use VS Code as usual.

You should see a notification on the bottom right to indicate the progress of the download.

All Done!

You can now enjoy Codeium’s rich AI featureset: Autocomplete, Chat, Command, and more.
