Installing

The official extension for the Nova programming language, all it currently does is just highlight your syntax properly and also points out errors, like an opened bracket with no closing bracket. In the future I plan to update it to have autocomplete, but for the time being this is the best we can do. You can download the extension in this repository linked here. To download it just go to the right side of your screen, find the download button, then it should start downloading. After that go into VS Code or VS Codium, open the extensions section click the three dots ... next to the refresh button, then click "Install from VSIX..." after that it should open your file browser, just double click the downloaded .vsix file and it should install and you should see your syntax properly highlighted.

Removing

To remove the extension just click the gear icon on the "Nova Syntax" extension, then click the button that says "Uninstall" after that it should have uninstalled and you just need to restart your VS Code or VS Codium for it to take effect.

Updated

For now, as the extension isn't on the official VS Code extension marketplace, all you have to do to update is remove it, then re-install the updated one, after you remove the old one and install the new one you just have to restart VS Code or VS Codium for it to take effect.
