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`.
## Running an extension
When you have installed an extension, you run the extension as you would run a native {% data variables.product.prodname_cli %} command, using `gh EXTENSION-NAME`. The `EXTENSION-NAME` is the name of the repository that contains the extension, minus the `gh-` prefix.
For example, if you installed the extension from the `octocat/gh-whoami` repository, you would run the extension with the following command.
``` shell
gh whoami
```
You can usually find specific information about how to use an extension in the README of the repository that contains the extension.
## Viewing installed extensions
To view all installed extensions, use the `extensions list` subcommand. The output will also tell you which extensions have updates available.
