Failed to install rust-analyzer on codium

I am trying to install rust-analyzer on codium (ubuntu 20.04)
When I go to the extension store and click on install, the extension install then throw an error :
Cannot activate rust-analyzer: bootstrap error. See the logs in "OUTPUT > Rust Analyzer Client" (should open automatically). To enable verbose logs use { "rust-analyzer.trace.extension": true }

Here is the log with verbose output;

Rust analyzer recently switched to packaging the language server with the extension itself. For this to work it publishes an extension for each supported platform. Open VSX (which is used by codium in the place of the vscode marketplace) currently doesn't support platform specific extensions. As such you will likely get an extension for the wrong platform. See New versions not available on OpenVSX (platform-specific VSIXes) · Issue #11080 · rust-lang/rust-analyzer · GitHub and Add support for specific platforms · Issue #336 · eclipse/openvsx · GitHub. Until this is fixed you can either download the right version of the extension from Releases · rust-lang/rust-analyzer · GitHub or build the language server yourself and set rust-analyzer.serverPath to the right path.

It's my first time using codium (or vscode) so I'm not sure how to download an extension from a file.

I tried to downgrade to version 0.2.853 and it seems to works !

Thanks for the fast response !

You can download the .vsix file for your platform from Releases · rust-lang/rust-analyzer · GitHub (ignore the pre-release at the top) The right file is rust-analyzer-linux-x64.vsix. You can then click on the three dots at the top right of the extension sidebar and then use "Install from VSIX...".
