Getting Started

For a full setup and walkthrough, please see ./doc/guide.md.

Quick Install

We have a script to install code-server for Linux, macOS and FreeBSD.

It tries to use the system package manager if possible.

First run to print out the install process:

curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run

Now to actually install:

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.
