Download Iris Code
Install from your editor's own registry and it updates itself: VS Code Marketplace, Open VSX for Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium and Trae, or the JetBrains Marketplace. The .vsix below is for offline installs.
Manual installs do not auto-update. Re-download to move to a new version.
VS Code
From the Marketplace, with automatic updates
- 1Open the Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
- 2Search for "Iris Code" and click Install
- 3The Iris Code icon appears in the Activity Bar - no restart needed
Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, Trae
From Open VSX, with automatic updates
- 1Open the Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
- 2Search for "Iris Code" and click Install
- 3These editors read the Open VSX registry, so updates arrive automatically
These editors read the Open VSX registry and receive the byte-identical build, so there is no reason to install a .vsix by hand.

JetBrains IDEs
Install the Iris Code plugin from the JetBrains Marketplace
- 1Open Settings → Plugins (Ctrl+Alt+S / Cmd+,)
- 2Search the Marketplace tab for "Iris Code" and click Install
- 3Restart the IDE, then open the Iris Code tool window from the right sidebar
Install the LSP4IJ plugin first, then restart the IDE fully - JetBrains registers file-type associations at startup. Analysis, diagnostics, and the Iris Code panel come from the same engine as the VS Code extension.
Seeing “JSON standard does not allow comments” on .irisconfig.json? One setting fixes it.
Install first, then choose your Iris Code workflow.
After installing Iris Code, most teams continue with the docs for setup, the features page for a product walkthrough, or pricing to compare Free and Pro enforcement limits.
Catch regressions before human review
Install Iris Code, set a threshold, and make every change answer to the same deterministic rules. Source analysis runs locally. The same rules run in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, the iris CLI, hooks, and CI.
