Installing OneMillion Code

OneMillion Code works with VS Code and Cursor. This guide will have you up and running in under 2 minutes.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • VS Code or Cursor installed on your computer
  • A OneMillion account (you'll create one during setup if you don't have one)

That's it. No other software, no terminal commands, no configuration files.

Installation Steps​

Step 1: Download the Extension​

Go to the OneMillion portal and download the .vsix file:

code.onemillion.build/downloads

Click Download .vsix for your editor (VS Code or Cursor — same file works for both).

Step 2: Open VS Code or Cursor​

Launch your editor. If this is your first time using it, that's okay — we'll guide you through everything.

Step 3: Install the .vsix File​

There are two ways to install:

Option A: Drag and Drop

Drag the downloaded .vsix file directly into the VS Code or Cursor window. The editor will prompt you to install it.

Option B: Command Palette

  1. Open the Command Palette:

    Operating SystemShortcut
    macOS⌘ + Shift + P
    Windows/LinuxCtrl + Shift + P

  2. Type Install from VSIX and press Enter

  3. Select the downloaded .vsix file

  4. Wait a few seconds for the installation to complete

Option C: Terminal

# VS Code
code --install-extension onemillion-code-latest.vsix

# Cursor
cursor --install-extension onemillion-code-latest.vsix

Step 4: Reload the Editor​

After installation, reload your editor window:

  1. Open the Command Palette (⌘/Ctrl + Shift + P)
  2. Type Reload Window and press Enter

Step 5: Open OneMillion Code​

After reloading, you'll see a new icon in your Activity Bar — the OneMillion logo.

Click it to open the OneMillion Code panel.

You're Almost There!

The extension is now installed. Next, you'll connect your OneMillion account to unlock AI access.

Verification​

You'll know the installation was successful when:

  • ✅ You see the OneMillion icon in the Activity Bar
  • ✅ Clicking it opens the OneMillion Code panel
  • ✅ You see a welcome screen prompting you to sign in

Updating​

When a new version is available, visit code.onemillion.build/downloads and download the latest .vsix. Install it the same way — it will automatically replace the previous version.

The extension also checks for mode and skill updates from the cloud every 30 minutes, so your AI modes stay current even between extension updates.

Troubleshooting​

Extension Not Appearing After Install?​

  1. Make sure you reloaded the window (⌘/Ctrl + Shift + P → "Reload Window")
  2. Check that the file you downloaded ends in .vsix
  3. Try installing via the terminal method above

"Extension is not compatible" Error?​

Make sure your VS Code or Cursor is up to date. OneMillion Code requires VS Code 1.85 or later.
