Installing code-server with `yarn` or `npm` builds native modules on install.
|

This process requires C dependencies; see our guide on [installing these

dependencies][./npm.md](./npm.md) for more information.

You must have Node.js v12 (or later) installed. See
|

[#1633](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1633).

To install:
|

|

```bash
|

yarn global add code-server
|

# Or: npm install -g code-server

Installing code-server requires all of the [prerequisites for VS Code development](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#prerequisites). When installing the C++ compiler tool chain, we recommend using "Option 2: Visual Studio 2019" for best results.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, install code-server with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yarn global add code-server
|
||||
# Or: npm install -g code-server
|
||||
code-server
|
||||
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A `postinstall.sh` script will attempt to run. Select your terminal (e.g., Git bash) as the default application for `.sh` files. If an additional dialog does not appear, run the install command again.
|
||||
|
||||
If the `code-server` command is not found, you'll need to [add a directory to your PATH](https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/). To find the directory, use the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
yarn global bin
|
||||
# Or: npm config get prefix
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For help and additional troubleshooting, see [#1397](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1397).
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing
|
||||
|
||||
After adding the dependencies for your OS, install the code-server package globally:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yarn global add code-server
|
||||
# Or: npm install -g code-server
|
||||
code-server
|
||||
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
