Follow the quick steps below, or head over to the official docs for more information.

1. Head over to the downloads page and download the package for your flavour of Linux (on Ubuntu, this is the .deb package).

2. Open a terminal and navigate to the location of the downloaded .deb file. This is probably cd ~/Downloads.

3. Run sudo apt install ./<file>.deb, replacing with the real filename of your download.

4. Close and reopen your terminal, then type code --version to make sure it has installed properly.

All done! Read on to learn more about using VS Code.
