It also integrates with an array of popular projects and services such as [Ganache](https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache) and [Infura](https://infura.io/). + +## Getting Started + +If you already have the previous version of the extension installed, you should see a dialog prompting you to make the switch. Simply click "Upgrade now" and you'll be switched over, with the previous version being automatically uninstalled. + +Alternatively, if you're new to the extension, you can search for "*Truffle*" in the [marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/) and simply click install. More details are also available [here](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=trufflesuite-csi.trufflesuite-vscode). + +## What's Next & Feedback + +We're going to be iterating rapidly, with a updated version of the [Truffle debugger](https://trufflesuite.com/docs/truffle/getting-started/using-the-truffle-debugger) available at launch and [large pipeline](https://github.com/trufflesuite/vscode-ext/issues) of new upcoming features and enhancements. + +In addition, we'd love to hear both your existing feedback and ideas about what like to see in the extension. Feel free to [get in touch directly](mailto:kevin.bluer@consensys.net) or via one of our [community channels](https://trufflesuite.com/community/). + +Last but not least, a huge thanks to the team at Microsoft that worked on the extension. We're excited to be building on all the amazing work that's gone into it thus far!
