This command does not work ( but it works on microsoft vscode )

vscodium.AppImage --install-extension "darkriszty.markdown-table-prettify"

Above command opens vscodium GUI. no warnings, no errors.

I try this on the latest version of vscodium also with Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04 also on 2 different machines. One of them is:

Version: 1.42.1
Commit: c47d83b293181d9be64f27ff093689e8e7aed054
Date: 2020-02-14T03:45:36.707Z
Electron: 6.1.6
Chrome: 76.0.3809.146
Node.js: 12.4.0
V8: 7.6.303.31-electron.0
OS: Linux x64 5.4.0-29-generic

Thank you

@GitMensch I found an AppImage here:
https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/download/1.69.2/VSCodium-1.69.2-1658192312.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage

You guys should proudly showcase this AppImage as a download option; I almost overlooked it. Thank you so much for supporting my preferred format.

Sure, we can forward to https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/latest or even to the direct link, a bit JS required.

I'll like to try VSCodium, but will only do so if there is an AppImage for it. I can't find one, but you mention one. Where is that?

https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/ has those, the current one is https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/download/1.69.2/VSCodium-1.69.2-1658192312.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage (and other than Ubuntu's "snaps" this should have no permission regressions).

@paulcarroty Do you think we can leave a link to the newest AppImage on vscodium.com? If not: what do you think of at least mentioning it there (a paragraph before the snap one)? I may be able to PR some text if that helps.

Just to recheck:

  • It works on the AppImage of Visual Studio Code, but not on the AppImage of VSCodium, correct?
  • Where do you get both AppImages from?
