Installation

aantje runs in desktop VS Code and in code-server. There are three ways to install it – pick the one that suits you.

1. From inside VS Code

The easiest way, and the one that keeps the extension up to date for you.

1. Open the Extensions view: Ctrl+Shift+X (macOS: ⇧⌘X).
2. Search for aantje.
3. Click Install.

Prefer the keyboard? Press Ctrl+P (macOS: ⌘P), paste the line below and press Enter:

Open in VS Code View in the Marketplace

2. Download the extension file

Use this if you are offline, behind a proxy, or run code-server (which usually uses the Open VSX registry instead of the Visual Studio Marketplace).

1. Download the latest .vsix file from the releases page on GitHub.
2. In VS Code, open the Extensions view and click the … menu at its top right.
3. Choose Install from VSIX… and select the file you downloaded.

3. From the command line

Works in any terminal, including the one built into VS Code, as long as the code command is on your PATH.

To install a downloaded file instead, pass its path:

For code-server, use code-server --install-extension with the path to the .vsix file.

After the installation

aantje adds an explorer to the Activity Bar. Open it, add a connection to your DuckLake catalog (DuckDB, SQLite or PostgreSQL) and start browsing. Details are in the documentation. Found a problem? Please open an issue.
