Visual Studio Code for Jetson

Visual Studio Code is my favorite IDE to work with, unfortunately it doesnt work with ARM architectures such as the Jetson boards…but we are lucky it is possible to install it.

First of all, open a terminal and go to de directory where you want to install VSC, then do the following:

1. Install the rep keys and setup

   wget -O script.deb.sh https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/headmelted/codebuilds/script.deb.sh 
   

2. Sudo chmod +x script.deb.sh

   sudo bash script.deb.sh
   

3. Run the installation script

   wget -O vscodeInstall.sh https://code.headmelted.com/installers/apt.sh
   

4. Sudo chmod +x vscodeInstall.sh

   sudo bash vscodeInstall.sh
   

Now you can start VSC by calling code-oss within a terminal.
