If you already have an extension by the same name installed, the command will fail. For example, if you have installed `octocat/gh-whoami`, you must uninstall it before installing `hubot/gh-whoami`.
{% note %}
**Note:** You can also provide the full repository URL for the extension when installing. If the full repository URL is not used, `gh` will install the extension using the hostname to which `gh` is currently authenticated. Using the full repository URL allows GitHub Enterprise users to install extensions from public GitHub.
```shell
gh extension install <em>https://github.com/owner/repo</em>
```
{% endnote %}
## Viewing installed extensions
To view all installed extensions, use the `extensions list` subcommand. The output will also tell you which extensions have updates available.
