## Installing extensions
To install an extension, use the `extensions install` subcommand. Replace the `owner/repo` parameter with the name of the extension, such as `octocat/gh-whoami`.{% ifversion ghes %} If the extension is on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}, also include the hostname, such as `https://ghe.io/octocat/gh-whoami`.{% endif %}
To install an extension, use the `extensions install` subcommand. Replace the `repo` parameter with the repository of the extension. You can use the full URL, such as `https://github.com/octocat/gh-whoami`, or just the owner and repository, such as `octocat/gh-whoami`.
If the owner and repository are used, `gh` will install the extension using the hostname to which `gh` is currently authenticated. The full URL format is useful when installing extensions from a different host. For example, users on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} should use the full repository URL to install extensions from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} or any other host.
To install an extension in development from the current directory, use `.` as the value for the `repo` parameter.
```shell
gh extension install <em>owner/repo</em>
gh extension install <em>repo</em>
```
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`.
