Installing the Visual Studio Code on Linux - how to do that!?
the well known open source code editor Visual Studio Code is becoming more and more well known.
the question is:
how to install Visual Studio Code in Ubuntu and - and also very interesting in many other Linux distributions. Ubuntu is not the only Linux-system - it is a very interesting part of the linux world. VSCode has become more and more interesting to the linux - world. It has become a mature Editor with a lot of extensions.
by releasing Visual Studio Code for all major desktop platforms that includes Linux as well the Coding Community was enlighted and yes: they are very happy.. The Visual Code became more and more famous - and during the time one of the best open source code editors.
To sume up: The feature it provides are useful not only to web developers but for other languages too. If we would list the features of Visual Studio Code here the list would become very very long. The question is: how to install Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions. I will add some approaches here - called ideas.
Subsequentliy i will come to a question.
the idea 1. Install Visual Studio Code in Linux using Snap - We cam dp this with snap. visual Studio Code is available as a Snap package. theUbuntu users can find it in the Software Center itself and install it in a couple of clicks. Visual Studio Code in Ubuntu Software Center - but again: ubuntu is not the only linux - only one of many many distributions. The Idea of using snap is somewhat strange. Snap packaging means you can install it in any Linux distribution that supports Snap packages.
We only have to make sure to enable Snap support on our Linux distribution. if we are on a certain linux-system then we can then install VS Code using this command:
Code:sudo snap install code --classic
idea 2. Using the .deb/.rpm installation files: the good thing: the developer of the VSCode provides packages to install Visual Studio Code in Linux.
To go this way seems to be pretty easy:
Just head over to the download page of Visual Studio Code and you’ll find the .deb and .rpm files (for Fedora systems)
options under Linux. But what about the very intersting MX-Linux!?
i would love to hear from you - what are your experiences and what were your steps.
Which extensions do you use - and how do you manage to prepare VSCode to work with
a. PYthon
b. MicroPython
here we need certain plugins and extensions - here we have to set up the environment.
How do we do that!?
