# Reason
Microsoft does not allow to use C/C++ extension with other editors. …See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/6388#issuecomment-720719298
We are working on an alternative solution for C/C++ code completion and navigation.
--------
# Temporary solution 1
You will need to install manually these extensions:
- https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools
- https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=platformio.platformio-ide
1. Open extension in the Microsoft Marketplace following the link above
2. Download extension's VSIX file by clicking on "Download Extension" in "Resources" section (right sidebar)
3. Navigate to VSCodium Extensions view and click "...", select "Install from ".VSIX".
4. Repeat for each VSIX/Extension.
Restart VSCodium.

Hi!
I'm a [VS Codium](https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium) user, a FLOSS version of VS Code, it's the same code but without the Microsoft's telemetry and branding.
I want to request if possible to add the PlatformIO IDE extension on the [open-vsx.org](https://open-vsx.org/) market so that we doesn't need to works with the Microsoft marketplace as it is unclear if it's legal to use it on VS Code forks, see [here](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/31168).
This is [how to](https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions) publish a new extension.
Thanks.
