Visual Studio Code Installation Guide

Are you eager to experience the power of Visual Studio Code on your Chromebook? Look no further! This guide will walk you through the process of installing Visual Studio Code on your arm64 device, such as the Asus C101PA or Chromebook Plus.

Before we begin, it's worth noting that there are two options available: building Visual Studio Code yourself or downloading a pre-built package. If you don't feel like going through the hassle of building it from scratch, you can download the deb file I've prepared following this guide. Alternatively, you can use headmelted's pre-built packages, which offer an easier and more convenient way to get started.

The instructions outlined below are specifically designed for arm64 devices, including the 'bob' (Asus C101PA) and 'kevin' (Chromebook Plus). These devices run on Debian 9, ahead of the official support. The guide has been maintained by 'original author' and is now hosted here for your convenience.

Once you've completed the installation process, you should find a Visual Studio Code icon in the app drawer, ready to be used whenever you need it.

That's it! With these simple steps, you'll be able to enjoy the benefits of Visual Studio Code on your Chromebook.
