Requirements

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:
- Using the install
script, which
automates most of the process. The script uses the system package manager if
possible.
- Manually installing
code-server
- 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.
