Installs code-server.
It tries to use the system package manager if possible.
After successful installation it explains how to start using code-server.
Pass in user@host to install code-server on user@host over ssh.
The remote host must have internet access.
${not_curl_usage-}
Usage:
$arg0 [--dry-run] [--version X.X.X] [--edge] [--method detect] \
[--prefix ~/.local] [--rsh ssh] [user@host]
--dry-run
Echo the commands for the install process without running them.
--version X.X.X
Install a specific version instead of the latest.
--edge
Install the latest edge version instead of the latest stable version.
--method [detect | standalone]
Choose the installation method. Defaults to detect.
- detect detects the system package manager and tries to use it.
Full reference on the process is further below.
- standalone installs a standalone release archive into ~/.local
Add ~/.local/bin to your \$PATH to use it.
--prefix
Sets the prefix used by standalone release archives. Defaults to ~/.local
The release is unarchived into ~/.local/lib/code-server-X.X.X
and the binary symlinked into ~/.local/bin/code-server
To install system wide pass ---prefix=/usr/local
--rsh
Specifies the remote shell for remote installation. Defaults to ssh.
The detection method works as follows:
- Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian: install the deb package from GitHub.
- Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, openSUSE: install the rpm package from GitHub.
- Arch Linux: install from the AUR (which pulls releases from GitHub).
- FreeBSD, Alpine: install from npm.
- macOS: install using Homebrew if installed otherwise install from GitHub.
- All others: install the release from GitHub.
We only build releases on GitHub for amd64 and arm64 on Linux and amd64 for
macOS. When the detection method tries to pull a release from GitHub it will
fall back to installing from npm when there is no matching release for the
system's operating system and architecture.
The standalone method will force installion using GitHub releases. It will not
fall back to npm so on architectures without pre-built releases this will error.
The installer will cache all downloaded assets into ~/.cache/code-server
