The following instructions are for other versions of the tools/IDE. DO NOT USE THESE FOR 2024 CODING unless you really know what you're doing (and even then, talk to Matt first).

  • Additional notes from the Alpha:
    • If installing VS Code on a Mac, you may need to run the command "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/where/you/installed/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app" in order to allow it to [automatically] update itself.
    • The documented process for converting Eclipse projects to VS Code appears to not work (at least when attempted on a Mac): clicking on the "Upgrade Project" button doesn't actually do anything. :-(
