README.md

VSCodium

Free/Libre Open Source Software Binaries of VSCode

Download/Install

🎉 🎉 Download latest release here 🎉 🎉

Install with Brew

If you are on a Mac and have Homebrew installed:

brew cask install vscodium

Note: if you see "App can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" when opening VSCodium the first time, you can right-click the application and choose Open. This should only be required the first time opening on a Mac.

Why

This repository contains a build file to generate FLOSS release binaries of Microsoft's VSCode.

Microsoft's downloads of VSCode are licensed under this not-FLOSS license. That's why this repo exists. So you don't have to download+build from source. If you want to build from source, definitely head over to https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode and follow the instructions.

Extensions + Marketplace

Until something more open comes around, we use the Microsoft Marketplace/Extensions in the product.json file. Those links are licensed under MIT as per the comments on this issue.

VSCodium (and a freshly cloned copy of vscode built from source) stores its config files in ~/.vscode-oss. So if you currently have Visual Studio Code installed, your extensions and settings won't automatically populate. You can reinstall extensions and copy settings over manually by following these steps:

  • In Visual Studio Code, go to Settings (Command+, if on a Mac)
  • Click the three dots ... and choose 'Open settings.json'
  • Copy the contents of settings.json into the same place in VSCodium

Supported OS

  • OSX x64 (zipped app file)
  • Linux x64 (.deb, .rpm, and .tar.gz files)
  • Windows x64
    • The plan is to build the Windows executable with AppVeyor. PRs are welcome 💙

x32 and arm architectures are not currently supported. If you know of a way to do this with Travis or any other free CI/CD platform please put in an issue or a PR.
