How to use templates?

[mattansb]

Assuming in am averse to using the CLI to quarto, how do I actually install and use templates?

It seems like they can only be installed using the CLI. So far, I've run:

quarto install extension schochastics/quarto-sketchy-html

Which executed successfully.

I've then created an new .qmd file with the following head:

---
format: sketchy-html
---

But am getting:

ERROR: Unable to read the extension 'quarto-sketchy'.
Please ensure that you provided the correct id and that the extension is installed.

What am I missing?

I'm working in RStudio 2023.03.0, R 4.2.2, Quarto 1.2.335

Did you run the command inside the directory where your document lives?
Extensions are installed locally, thus you'll need to install them in each of your Quarto projects.

I did not :/

Is there a way to do this without the CLI? Preferably in R/RStudio?

Thus, the result was expected.

Not currently, but maybe RStudio will take care of that in the future.
Note that in RStudio when inside a project, you can open the integrated terminal and simply type quarto add <owner>/<repository> which will add the extension in the root of your RStudio project (quarto install extension is kind of the old syntax).

Thank you very much!
