I can’t seem to figure out how to run VSCode on my Ubuntu after installing it.
After downloading VSCode from the website I was unable to run anything.
Then I tried running:
sudo apt-get install wget gpg
wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg –dearmor > packages.microsoft.gpg
sudo install -D -o root -g root -m 644 packages.microsoft.gpg /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.microsoft.gpg
echo “deb [arch=amd64,arm64,armhf signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.microsoft.gpg] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/code stable main” |sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list > /dev/null
rm -f packages.microsoft.gpg
and:
sudo apt install apt-transport-https
sudo apt update
sudo apt install code
but I’m still unable to run anything. I looked in the folders for an executable, but couldn’t find one. Is there something else I need to do?
