I am moving Linux working environment from Ubuntu to Antergos. And I need to install Visual Studio Code for working with Git.
Also saw something on this progress that is needed for newbie. So I write down this article. Hope it can be help you faster.
This article follows step-by-step theory, so it is easy to do.
Step 1:
You must download git repository
[root@cliff Downloads]# git clone https://AUR.archlinux.org/visual-studio-code-bin.git
Step 2:
Then go inside
[root@cliff Downloads]# cd visual-studio-code-bin/
[root@cliff visual-studio-code-bin]# ls
PKGBUILD visual-studio-code.desktop visual-studio-code-url-handler.desktop
Step 3:
And make a pacman package
[cliff@cliff visual-studio-code-bin]$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: visual-studio-code-bin 1.33.1-1 (Mon 29 Apr 2019 03:59:40 PM +07)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
...
==> Finished making: visual-studio-code-bin 1.33.1-1 (Mon 29 Apr 2019 04:00:34 PM +07)
makepkg should download *.tar.gz from Visual Studio Code and convert it to pacman package
==> Finished making: visual-studio-code-bin 1.33.1-1 (Mon 29 Apr 2019 04:00:34 PM +07)
Step 4:
Then install
[cliff@cliff visual-studio-code-bin]$ sudo pacman -U visual-studio-code-bin-1.33.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar
Step 5:
Finally, you can start it for now. I am using i3, so can take it via Ctrl + D and type "visual studio code" and press.
