VS Code in the browser

code-server

Run VS Code on any machine anywhere and access it in the browser.

Highlights

• Code on any device with a consistent development environment
• Use cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more
• Preserve battery life when you're on the go; all intensive tasks run on your server

Note To manage multiple IDEs, workspaces, and teams, see our new project: coder/coder

Requirements

See requirements for minimum specs, as well as instructions on how to set up a Google VM on which you can install code-server.

TL;DR: Linux machine with WebSockets enabled, 1 GB RAM, and 2 CPUs

Getting started

There are three ways to get started:

1. Using the install script, which automates most of the process. The script uses the system package manager if possible.
2. Manually installing code-server
3. Using our one-click buttons and guides to deploy code-server to a cloud provider ⚡

If you use the install script, you can preview what occurs during the install process:

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

To install, run:

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

When done, the install script prints out instructions for running and starting code-server.

We also have an in-depth setup and configuration guide.
