Sorry my comment is a bit late, but you have to install this from source by following the steps. Step 1: Firstly look for .vscode folder, which is usually present in your home folder (/Users/username/.vscode), in place of username write the username of your computer. Step 2: In the .vscode folder open the command prompt and write git clone https://github.com/ritwickdey/vscode-live-server-plus-plus.git which clones the repository. Step 3: A folder will appear just rename it to ritwickdey.vscode-live-server-plus-plus-0.0.1. and close the command prompt window. Step 4: Go into that folder and again open command prompt and write the command npm install. After that, write npm run compile, and then open visual studio code. (PS. Do write the commands npm install and npm run compile only when you have npm installed in your computer) Hope that helps! @DeatHqR

Maybe we should make it more clear that the repo (which is also the future extension) should be placed under C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME.vscode\extensions\
