Visual Studio Code Installer

Figure 1: Visual Studio Code 1.1.0 running on Arch Linux

This repository contains shell scripts that are to be used installing Visual Studio Code on a variety of different Linux distributions, including:

• Arch Linux
• CentOS
• Debian
• deepin
• Fedora
• Mageia
• Manjaro Linux
• openSUSE
• PCLinuxOS
• Sabayon Linux
• Ubuntu (and many of its derivatives such as Linux Mint)
• Zorin OS

The way it detects the operating system it is being run on is by reading the /etc/os-release file. So, if you find that running cat /etc/os-release | grep -w "NAME" | sed 's/NAME=//g' | sed 's/"//g' returns the distribution names given above, your distribution should be supported by this installer.

while to use wget to get it run:

/bin/bash -c "$(wget -cqO- https://git.io/vrLNn)"
