2. Navigate to the Vendor Libraries Manager

• Click on the WPILib Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P ).

• Search for and select Manage Vendor Libraries.

3. Install from a JSON URL

• In the Manage Vendor Libraries menu, select Install new library (online).

• Enter the following URL and click OK:

  https://vertos-maven-repo.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/VertosLib.json

4. Verify the Installation
