How to install .vsix extention file in Visual Studio on Mac?

I just downloaded a VSIX file from the Visual Studio Gallery and i want install this extention (jQuery snippets) on Mac.

How to do this?


You can't because there's no Visual Studio on Mac OS. And if you're talking about Visual Studio Code then it's not compatible with the *.VSIX extensions because it's an entirely different product.


Just to update this with the current status, as things have changed in the last year.

VSC have (somewhat) support for vsix: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensions/publish-extension#_visual-studio-code-compatibility

And Microsoft is working on a Visual Studio for Mac: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-mac/


There is now an extension for Mac VSCode in the Marketplace Install .VSIX

It can also be found on github

It allows installing VSIX extensions from the VS Code sidebar.

I'm not affiliated - but I've used it, and it works fine.
