How to build and run on ppc64le

Building a dpkg or RPM package

To install VSCode on a Debian or Red Hat-based system, you can build and install a dpkg or RPM package:

Installing dependencies

Fedora

$ sudo dnf install fakeroot g++ git libsecret-devel libxkbfile-devel make pkg-config python rpm-build unzip wget xz

Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install bsdmainutils build-essential curl fakeroot git libasound2 libfuse2 libgconf-2-4 libgtk-3-0 libgtk2.0-0 libnotify-bin libnss3 libsecret-1-dev libx11-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxkbfile-dev libxss1 libxtst6 pkg-config python-gtk2 unzip wget zip

Building and installing package

To build the appropriate package for your system, run:

To install the package, run:

You can also install the package manually. The RPM package will be in the .build/linux/rpm/ppc64le folder, while the deb package will be in the .build/linux/deb/ppc64el/deb folder.

Other options

To build both dpkg and RPM packaging, run make packaging.

To run without building the dpkg or RPM package, either run make run or run make build and then launch using the ./scripts/code.sh script.

Alternatively, you can use the ppc64le_build.bash and ppc64le_run.bash scripts.

Visual Studio Code - Open Source ("Code - OSS")

The Repository

This repository ("Code - OSS") is where we (Microsoft) develop the Visual Studio Code product. Not only do we work on code and issues here, we also publish our roadmap, monthly iteration plans, and our endgame plans. This source code is available to everyone under the standard MIT license.

Visual Studio Code is a distribution of the Code - OSS repository with Microsoft specific customizations released under a traditional Microsoft product license.

Visual Studio Code combines the simplicity of a code editor with what developers need for their core edit-build-debug cycle. It provides comprehensive code editing, navigation, and understanding support along with lightweight debugging, a rich extensibility model, and lightweight integration with existing tools.

Visual Studio Code is updated monthly with new features and bug fixes. You can download it for Windows, macOS, and Linux on Visual Studio Code's website. To get the latest releases every day, install the Insiders build.

Related Projects

Many of the core components and extensions to VS Code live in their own repositories on GitHub. For example, the node debug adapter and the mono debug adapter have their own repositories. For a complete list, please visit the Related Projects page on our wiki.

Bundled Extensions

VS Code includes a set of built-in extensions located in the extensions folder, including grammars and snippets for many languages. Extensions that provide rich language support (code completion, Go to Definition) for a language have the suffix language-features. For example, the json extension provides coloring for JSON and the json-language-features provides rich language support for JSON.
