Install flow
Four deliberate steps.
Prepare VS Code
Use VS Code 1.106 or later and open a trusted project. For your first Agent run, the project documentation recommends a disposable workspace.
Install the extension
Open the Command Palette, open the official Marketplace listing and select Install, then reload VS Code if prompted.
Check the runtime
Run TuxNest: Diagnose Installation, then TuxNest: Doctor or Run Self-Test if you need connectivity details.
Select a real model
Open Models, refresh discovery and select a model that is actually installed on your local Ollama instance or connected endpoint.
