# Local Development ⚙️
## Running the Extension
To run the extension locally for development, we recommend using the automatic
watch process for continuous compilation:
1. **Install Dependencies** (from the root of the repository):
```bash
npm install
```
2. **Open in VS Code:** Open this directory (`packages/vscode-ide-companion`)
in your VS Code editor.
3. **Start Watch Mode:** Run the watch script to compile the extension and
monitor changes in both **esbuild** and **TypeScript**:
```bash
npm run watch
```
4. **Launch Host:** Press **`F5`** (or **`fn+F5`** on Mac) to open a new
**Extension Development Host** window with the extension running.
### Manual Build
If you only need to compile the extension once without watching for changes:
```bash
npm run build
```
