   - Select the `.vsix` file

### Option 2: Development Mode

### Option 3: Symlink to Extensions Folder

Create a symlink from your VS Code extensions folder to this directory:

**Windows (PowerShell as Admin):**
```powershell
cmd /c mklink /D "$env:USERPROFILE\.vscode\extensions\xyw-language" "C:\path\to\xyw\xyw-vscode"
```

**macOS/Linux:**
```bash
ln -s /path/to/xyw/xyw-vscode ~/.vscode/extensions/xyw-language
```

Then restart VS Code.
