- First, enable Linux on your Chromebook.
- Download the latest .deb installation from https://code.visualstudio.com/download
- Move this file to the Linux shared files (should be visible in the file manager, and is probably empty). This folder is your home directory in Linux.
- Open a Linux terminal and type
sudo apt install ./{downloaded file}.deb - You will likely be prompted to add the Microsoft apt repo to your installation. Select YES.
- Once installed, you should now have VS Code in your Launcher.
Remember that you’re running VS Code from inside a Linux container, so your other Chromebook files won’t be available.
