## Getting Started

For a full setup and walkthrough, please see [./doc/guide.md](./doc/guide.md).

### Quick Install

We have a [script](./install.sh) to install code-server for Linux and macOS.

It tries to use the system package manager if possible.

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
```

The install script will print out how to run and start using code-server.

### Manual Install

Docs on the install script, manual installation and docker image are at [./doc/install.md](./doc/install.md).
