Salesforce DX extension package

I am trying to push a managed extension package to a scratch org but am running into some issues. The issues seem to be stemed around some custom objects that are owned by the package that is being extended. I have added the "extension" fields and can see that the objects are being added to the extension package but it is still erroring. I have attatched the errors below.
  
force-app/main/default/objects/inscor__Allocation__c.object-meta.xml                      Must specify a non-empty label for the CustomObject

I followed the steps to try and deploy but with no success. I get a Package Not Found error. I am probably missing something. I created a packages directory with a package.xml and a sub folder installedPackages. Inside Installed packages I have a inscor.installedPackage. Do I need to retrieve the managed package before deploying?

Hi zack if it is confusing for you, please follow this command as described in the secont best answer in the above link.

sfdx force:package:install -i 04t6A0000004eytQAA

The id here is no the id in the app exchange but the id which you get in the install for admins, install for all page after you try to install the package manually in a example org!

Hope you understand this!
Thank you!

Hi Zack, if you were trying to use metadata to achieve this make sure you use the correct version! if both these solutions didnt resolve please let me know the managed package in the app exchange that you are trying to install using salesforce DX, i will try, and let you know.

thank you!
Zack WaltonZack Walton
It is not published on the App Exchange. Both of those ways didn't work for me. The install cmd just came back with  
ERROR running force:package:install:  Encountered errors installing the package!,<empty>
ERROR running force:package:install:  <empty>.

Hi Zack as per my understanding the issue is you were trying to install extension components to a managed package, so before using any commands related to extensions package, you must make sure you install its dependency package i (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=publish_extensions.htm&type=0)n one of the two ways
Zack WaltonZack Walton
The managed package was installed on the dev env. Then I created the extension components which were some objects and page layouts. There were also some fields that were added to the core package. Then I created a managed package with the extension components which added the dependency. Then I retrieved that managed package from the dev env using sfdx. Then I created a scratch org and tried to push. That is what caused the inital errors. I was thinking that the dependencies would be retrieved with the rest of the source code. 
Akhilesh Reddy BaddigamAkhilesh Reddy Baddigam
HI Zack, please install the managed package alone first using one of the methods and then try to push the extensions, that how it worked for me as you can see in the post in the stack overflow!

I ended up installing the package onto the scratch org doing the normal interactive install.
