CodePudding user response:

The documentation indicates that You need Quarto v1.0.15 or greater to install extensions.

You can find the latest stable version here.

Alternatively, to install the dev version on Ubuntu/Mac, you should remove your current installation and then run:

git clone https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli
cd quarto-cli
./configure.sh

On Windows this would be:

git clone https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli
cd quarto-cli
./configure.cmd

If you have already installed the dev version in the past you can update it simply by navigating to the parent folder and running:

cd quarto-cli
git pull
