+[source,json]
+----
+{ "rust-analyzer.updates.channel": "nightly" }
+----
+
+You will be prompted to install the `nightly` extension version. Just click `Download now` and from that moment you will get automatic updates each 24 hours.

+If you don't want to be asked for `Download now` every day when the new nightly version is released add the following to your `settings.json`:
+[source,json]
+----
+{ "rust-analyzer.updates.askBeforeDownload": false }
+----
+
+NOTE: Nightly extension should **only** be installed via the `Download now` action from VS Code.
