Answers.Text: Glad the full URL worked. Note: To show up on the in-app "Admin Extensions" UI for automated download, there's a [Formal Review](https://docs.civicrm.org/dev/en/latest/extensions/lifecycle/), and (at time of writing) that extension isn't flagged as reviewed. So you have use the URL or `--dev`

Comments.Text: As a tip - rename the folders to `de.systopia.osm` and `net.ourpowerbase.exportpermission`.  Otherwise the folders will have the same names when the extensions are upgraded, which will be confusing.

  The other suggestions are good. If one is a fan of CLI, then cv provides a few easy options.
  Download a published extension from the directory (long name).
  cv dl org.example.foobar
  
  Download a published extension from the directory (short name).
  cv dl foobar
  
  Download an unpublished extension (long name and zip URL)
  cv dl org.example.foobar@http://example.org/files/foobar-1.2.zip
  
  Download a pre-release (alpha/beta) from the directory.
  cv dl --dev foobar
  
  Note: By default, all these commands will download to the configured extensions folder, use a sensible subfolder (e.g. sites/default/files/civicrm/ext/org.example.foobar), and refresh the ext list. You can download to an alternate location ( --to=).
