+It is important to note that the directory `~/.vscode/extensions` works for users logged in locally to the machine. If you are remoting into the box using Visual Studio Code's Remote plugins (SSH, WSL, Docker) it will look for extensions on `~/.vscode-server/extensions` only and you will not see your just installed lldb-vscode plug-in.
