This article is a step by step guide on how to download & install Visual Studio Code, along with details about its different channels.

1] Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio Code First of all, you need to download VS Code. For that, go to code.visualstudio.com and download the application for your operating system.

Setting up Visual Studio Code Even though Visual Studio Code is a Microsoft product, it’s available for all three major development platforms: Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS.

At this point, code-server will always be running, even if the system reboots. And that’s how you can serve up an instance of Visual Studio Code over your network.

Once downloaded, double-click on the downloaded vc_redist.x64.exe file. The Microsoft Visual C++-2015 Redistributable screen will be displayed and ask you to agree to the license terms and conditions.
