Linux / Ubuntu : Installing Visual Studio Code

Hi All,

Greetings for the day 🙂 LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL 🙂

Today we have very small article since I need to look into it so sharing. SHARING IS CARING 🙂

How to install Visual Studio Code on Linux / Ubuntu box

Background / Details :

• I am studying / understanding DOCKER and KUBERNAETES for this I need to create docker image from scratch and trying simple NET CORE console application and this is the first step

To install we actually need to execute only one command 🙂 Folowing are the steps :

• I have created UBUNTU vm on my free subscribed AZURE
• Next step is to connect to our LINUX / UBUNTU box either using RDP or PuttY
  • Please follow article – Connecting Linux VM from Windows 10 using PuTTY for connecting Linux VM using PuttY
  • Please follow article – Connecting Linux VM hosted in Azure from Windows 10 using RDP for connecting Linux VM using RDP
• Once we have successfully connected to LINUX box we are ready to install the Visual Studio Code
• Here I am connecting to LINUX box using PuttY
• There are couple of options to install Visual Studio Code on LINUX box
  • We could download Visual studio Code from https://code.visualstudio.com/download just select our appropriate OS
  • Visual Studio Code is also officially distributed as a Snap package in the Snap Store. This is the easiest way to install, just execute following command from the bash

sudo snap install --classic code # or code-insiders

• Once installed, the Snap daemon will take care of automatically updating VS Code in the background
• You will get an in-product update notification whenever a new update is available

• Once download complete, installation will start
