🍳 Motivation

An IDE is essential for setting up a development environment. I wanted to test which IDE would be best, so I decided to start by installing the most basic one, VS Code.

🍳 VS Code Installation Tutorial

1. First, you need to import Microsoft’s GPG key and add the repository.

wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode stable main"

2. You need to update the package lists.

sudo apt-get update

3. Install Visual Studio Code.

sudo apt-get install code

As shown in the image below, you can see that VS Code has been installed and launched successfully.

🍳 Thoughts

Installing VS Code itself is not particularly difficult. I wanted to try setting up the most basic development environment for a developer using Linux, and I plan to install various additional tools to create the development environment I want for AI development. Since I had quite a difficult time installing Linux through WSL in a Windows environment, installing VS Code itself was not difficult.

Things I want to try next

1. Install Docker on Linux
2. Try installing a database
