I have wrote about the installation of PowerShell Core in Linux Mint 18 yesterday. Today, I want to show you, how to install Visual Studio Code on Linux Mint 18. The installation is really easy:
- Download the deb package
- Install the deb package
- Run Visual Studio Code
You can download the latest packages for Windows, Linux (deb and rpm, if you want even a tar ball), and Mac on the Visual Studio Code download page. Download the deb file. To install the package, open a Terminal window and run dpkg .

sudo might ask you for a password. That’s it! Now you can simply start VS Code.
After you have installed your favorite extensions, VS Code is ready to code.
