Until now, I have written my projects in Sublime Text, it’s a great editor, I strongly recommended it, but when your project tends to expand and have multiple files you need something like an IDE, not just an editor.
After some research, I found out that, surprisingly, an IDE from Microsoft may be the best choice for development under Linux…
Let’s give it a try…
How To install it in Ubuntu!
Simple, follow these steps:
01. First is as usual, we start by updating the the packages index:
$sudo apt update
02. Install the dependencies by typing:
$sudo apt install software-properties-common apt-transport-https wget
03. With wget, import the Microsoft GPG key using the following command:
$wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
04. Now enable the Visual Studio Code repository by typing:
$sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode stable main"
Just tu be sure we will update the entire repository again:
$sudo apt update
05. Now that the repository is enabled and updated, install the latest version of Visual Studio Code with:
$sudo apt install code
Enjoy!
