Visual Studio Code on Linux

Installation

  1. Download and install Visual Studio Code for your Linux distribution

    Note

    VS Code ships monthly releases and supports auto-update when a new release is available.

  2. Install additional components

    Install Git, Node.js, TypeScript, language runtimes, and more.

  3. Install VS Code extensions from the Visual Studio Marketplace

    Customize VS Code with themes, formatters, language extensions and debuggers for your favorite languages, and more.

  4. Enable AI features

    Tip

    If you don't yet have a Copilot subscription, you can use Copilot for free by signing up for the Copilot Free plan and get a monthly limit of completions and chat interactions.

  5. Get started with the VS Code tutorial

    Discover the user interface and key features of VS Code.

Install VS Code on Linux

Debian and Ubuntu based distributions

  1. The easiest way to install Visual Studio Code for Debian/Ubuntu based distributions is to download and install the .deb package (64-bit), either through the graphical software center if it's available, or through the command line with:

    echo "code code/add-microsoft-repo boolean true" | sudo debconf-set-selections

  2. To manually install the apt repository:

    1. Run the following script to install the signing key:

      Types: deb URIs: https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/code Suites: stable Components: main Architectures: amd64,arm64,armhf Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/microsoft.gpg

    2. Lastly, update the package cache and install the package:

      sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc && echo -e "[code]\nname=Visual Studio Code\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/vscode\nenabled=1\nautorefresh=1\ntype=rpm-md\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo > /dev/null

    3. Then update the package cache and install the package using dnf (Fedora 22 and above):

      yum check-update && sudo yum install code # or code-insiders
    Note

    Due to the manual signing process and the publishing system we use, the yum repo could lag behind by up to three hours and not immediately get the latest version of VS Code.

    Snap

    VS Code is officially distributed as a Snap package in the Snap Store

    Get it from the Snap Store

    You can install it by running:

    sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc && echo -e "[code]\nname=Visual Studio Code\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/vscode\nenabled=1\nautorefresh=1\ntype=rpm-md\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" | sudo tee /etc/zypp/repos.d/vscode.repo > /dev/null

  3. Then update the package cache and install the package using:

    nix-env -i vscode

Install the .rpm package manually

You can manually download and install the VS Code .rpm package (64-bit), however, auto-updating won't work unless the repository above is installed.

Once downloaded, the .rpm package can be installed by using your package manager, for example with dnf:

xdg-mime default code.desktop text/plain

Debian alternatives system

Debian-based distributions allow setting a default editor by using the Debian alternatives system, without concern for the MIME type. You can set this by running the following command and selecting code:

sudo update-alternatives --set editor /snap/bin/code

If VS Code doesn't show up as an alternative to the default editor, you need to register it:

sudo apt-get install gvfs libglib2.0-bin

Conflicts with VS Code packages from other repositories

Some distributions, for example Pop!_OS provide their own code package. To ensure the official VS Code repository is used, create a file named /etc/apt/preferences.d/code with the following content:

cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

The limit can be increased to its maximum by editing /etc/sysctl.conf (except on Arch Linux and Ubuntu 24.10 and later, read below) and adding this line to the end of the file:

"files.watcherExclude": { "**/.git/objects/**": true, "**/.git/subtree-cache/**": true, "**/node_modules/*/**": true }

I can't see Chinese characters in Ubuntu

We're working on a fix. In the meantime, open the application menu, then choose File > Preferences > Settings. In the Text Editor > Font section, set "Font Family" to Droid Sans Mono, Droid Sans Fallback. If you'd rather edit the settings.json file directly, set editor.fontFamily as shown:

# For .deb sudo apt-get update # For .rpm (Fedora 21 and below) sudo yum check-update # For .rpm (Fedora 22 and above) sudo dnf check-update

The code bin command does not bring the window to the foreground on Ubuntu

Running code . on Ubuntu when VS Code is already open in the current directory will not bring VS Code into the foreground. This is a feature of the OS which can be disabled using ccsm.

sudo mkdir /etc/apt/sources.list.d sudo touch /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list

Cannot move or resize the window while X forwarding a remote window

If you are using X forwarding to use VS Code remotely, you will need to use the native title bar to ensure you can properly manipulate the window. You can switch to using it by setting window.titleBarStyle to native.

Repository changed its origin value

If you receive an error similar to the following:

sudo apt update 12/10/2025 Search Search
