 # Install Extensions

+Jan uses a modular extension system that allows developers to add new functionality to the application. By default, Jan comes with several [pre-installed extensions](/docs/extensions#core-extensions) that provide core functionalities. You can manually add custom third-party extensions at your own risk.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Required Tools
+- Node.js (version 20.0.0 or higher)
+- Basic understanding of TypeScript
+
+### Jan's Architecture
+Jan is built on:
+- **Electron**: Powers the desktop application
+  - Extensions run in the main process
+  - Access to Node.js APIs and filesystem
+  - Cannot use browser-only libraries
+- **Next.js**: Handles the user interface
+- **Node.js**: Runs extension logic
+
+This architecture means your extensions:
+- Can use Node.js packages and system APIs
+- Need to handle client/server communication properly
+- Should follow Electron's security practices

 ## Install Extensions 
 
 To install a custom extension in Jan:
 
-1. Navigate to [Jan Data Folder](/docs/data-folder):
-2. Copy `.tgz` extension file into the extensions directory
-3. Extract the `.tgz` file into its own folder under the extensions directory
+1. Open Jan, navigate to **Settings** (<Settings width={16} height={16} style={{display:"inline"}}/>) > **Extensions**
+2. Click **<Plus width={16} height={16} style={{display:"inline"}}/> Install Extension**
+3. Select your extension `.tgz` file & save
 4. Restart Jan
 
 After restart, the `~/jan/data/extensions/extensions.json` file will be updated automatically to include your new extension.

+
+## Troubleshooting
+**Check Extensions Logs**
+
+```bash
+# View application logs
+~/jan/logs/app.log
+
+# Open Developer Tools
+Mac: Cmd + Option + I
+Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + I
+```
+**Common Error Patterns**
+
+1. Initialization Failures
+   - Extension fails to load/activate
+   - Verify package.json configuration
+   - Check extension dependencies
+
+2. Runtime Errors
+   - Node.js module errors
+   - API connection issues
+   - Authentication failures
+
+3. Build Problems
+```bash
+rm -rf dist/
+npm run build
+```
