This document demonstrates how to install `code-server` on
various distros and operating systems.
The steps in this document are exactly what the install script does.
We recommend using the install script if possible. You can run
the install script with the `--dry-run` flag for a dry run which will
print out the commands it will run to install `code-server` but
not run anything. That way you can verify the script is functioning
as intended before installing.

## install.sh
We have a script to install code-server on Linux or macOS preferring to use the system package manager.
First run to print out the install process:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
```
Now to actually install:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
```
- For Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian it will install the latest deb package.
- For Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, openSUSE it will install the latest rpm package.
- For Arch Linux it will install the AUR package.
- For any unrecognized Linux operating system it will install the latest static release into ~/.local
- Add ~/.local/bin to your \$PATH to run code-server.
2020-05-22 04:10:29 +07:00
- For macOS it will install the Homebrew package.
2020-05-22 04:10:29 +07:00
- If Homebrew is not installed it will install the latest static release into ~/.local
- Add ~/.local/bin to your \$PATH to run code-server.
2020-05-22 04:10:29 +07:00
- If ran on an architecture with no binary releases, it will install the npm package with yarn or npm.
- We only have binary releases for amd64 and arm64 presently.
Pass `--static` to install a static release into `~/.local`.
Pass `--static=/usr/local` to install a static release system wide.
Pass `--version=X.X.X` to install version `X.X.X` instead of latest.
If you still don't trust our install script, even with the above explaination and the dry run,
continue for docs on manual installation. The script runs the exact same commands depicted
in the rest of this document.

## Debian, Ubuntu
```bash
curl -fOL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.3.1/code-server_3.3.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i code-server_3.3.1_amd64.deb
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, SUSE
2020-05-20 23:13:03 +07:00
```bash
curl -fOL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.3.1/code-server-3.3.1-amd64.rpm
sudo rpm -i code-server-3.3.1-amd64.rpm
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Arch Linux
```bash
# Installs code-server from the AUR using yay.
yay -S code-server
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
```bash
# Installs code-server from the AUR with plain makepkg.
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/code-server.git
cd code-server
makepkg -si
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## yarn, npm
We recommend installing with `yarn` or `npm` if:
1. You aren't using `amd64` or `arm64`.
2. glibc < v2.17
2020-05-20 23:13:03 +07:00
**note:** Installing via `yarn` or `npm` builds native modules on install and so requires C dependencies.
See [./doc/npm.md](./doc/npm.md) for installing these dependencies.
You will need at least node v12 installed. See [#1633](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1633).
```bash
yarn global add code-server
# Or: npm install -g code-server
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## macOS
```bash
brew install code-server
brew services start code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Static Releases
We publish self contained `.tar.gz` archives for every release on [github](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases).
They bundle the node binary and node_modules.
1. Download the latest release archive for your system from [github](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases).
2. Unpack the release.
3. You can run code-server by executing `./bin/code-server`.
You can add the code-server `bin` directory to your `$PATH` or link to it from a
directory in your `$PATH` to easily execute `code-server` without the full path every time.

Here is an example script for installing and using a static `code-server` release on Linux:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.local/lib ~/.local/bin
2020-05-20 23:13:03 +07:00
curl -fL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.3.1/code-server-3.3.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz \
| tar -C ~/.local/lib -xz
mv ~/.local/lib/code-server-3.3.1-linux-amd64 ~/.local/lib/code-server-3.3.1
ln -s ~/.local/lib/code-server-3.3.1/bin/code-server ~/.local/bin/code-server
PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH"
2020-05-20 23:13:03 +07:00
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Docker
2020-05-22 04:10:29 +07:00
```bash
# This will start a code-server container and expose it at http://127.0.0.1:8080.
# It will also mount your current directory into the container as `/home/coder/project`
# and forward your UID/GID so that all file system operations occur as your user outside
# the container.
docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
-v "$PWD:/home/coder/project" \
-u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
codercom/code-server:latest
```
Our official image supports `amd64` and `arm64`.
For `arm32` support there is a highly popular community maintained alternative:
