Only as a study note for learning punctual atomic Linux embedded development
VS Code (full name: Visual Studio Code) is a free cross-platform source code editor developed by Microsoft. I won't go into details about it, just go straight to the text.
VS Code download
Go to the VS Code official website https://code.visualstudio.com/ to download,
VS Code installation
Copy the downloaded installation package to the virtual machine (Ubuntu),
There are two installation methods, GUI installation and command line installation:
- GUI installation
- command line installation
Set up fast startup
After the installation is complete, you can codestart VS Code directly at the command line. If you find it troublesome, we can add it to the desktop shortcut or lock it to the launcher.
- Add desktop shortcut
Enter /usr/share/applications/, copy Visual Studio Code to the desktop
At this point, we can open VS Code on the desktop,
- Lock VS Code to Ubuntu Launcher
There is a launcher on the left side of Ubuntu (I moved it to the end), which is similar to the taskbar under Windows. Generally, after the software is opened, it will be displayed on the launcher. If we lock it, the software will become convenient.
However, the VS Code opened through the desktop shortcut created above will not be displayed on the launcher. At this time, we need to open VS Code with the command line terminal first, and then we will see the VS Code icon on the launcher.
Then we lock it to the launcher.
Install plugins for VS Code
VS Code supports multiple languages and comes with many external extension packages, but these all need to be installed manually. The following is how to install the plugin:
The following are the plugins recommended in the Punctuality Atomic Tutorial:
After installation, you can check which plugins you have installed,
VS Code is easy to use
First select an empty folder as the project directory,
Create a new file,
save the file, rename it at the same time,
Write a simple C program,
Try compiling directly with VS Code, select the compiler, the
compilation is complete, it runs successfully, and the running result is displayed on the terminal.
We can also compile directly with commands in the terminal, first create a new terminal,
There is no difference between the terminal of the operation and the system, and there is a list of created terminals on the right side.
If you want to save this project so that it can be reopened in another location, you can click "Save Project Area As",
Give the project (workspace) a name,
In the file manager, you can open the VS Code project directly through this workspace file,
