Cannot install extensions - failed to fetch

Discussion
1

Hi, I am having difficulty installing extensions on a remote server over SSH right now.

When I try to click the install button, I see an error “Failed to fetch”.

Running the same thing on vscode works. How do I fix this?

updates:

  1. search for packages (see screenshot
    cursor-screenshot
    cursor-screenshot399×248 6.05 KB

    )
  2. failed to install locally also

Resolved. Found the fix after poking around for a while.

  1. F1 - toggle developer tools
  2. Switch to console
  3. Search for any extension
  4. Saw error 400
  5. Found out antivirus was blocking traffic to cursor servers
