You can always install using the downloads (deb, rpm, tar) on the [releases page](https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases), but you can also install using your favorite package manager and get automatic updates. [@paulcarroty](https://github.com/paulcarroty) has set up a repository with instructions [here](https://gitlab.com/paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo). Any issues installing VSCodium using your package manager should be directed to that repository's issue tracker.

## <a id="why"></a>Why Does This Exist
|
|
|
|
This repository contains build files to generate free release binaries of Microsoft's VS Code. When we speak of "free software", we're talking about freedom, not price.
|
|
|
|
Microsoft's releases of Visual Studio Code are licensed under [this not-FLOSS license](https://code.visualstudio.com/license) and contain telemetry/tracking. According to [this comment](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/60#issuecomment-161792005) from a Visual Studio Code maintainer:
|
|
|
|
> When we [Microsoft] build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license.
|
|
>
|
|
> When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. Therefore, you generate a "clean" build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license
|
|
|
|
This repo exists so that you don't have to download+build from source. The build scripts in this repo clone Microsoft's vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries to [GitHub releases](https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases). __These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. Telemetry is disabled.__
|
|
|
|
If you want to build from source yourself, head over to [Microsoft's vscode repo](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode) and follow their [instructions](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#build-and-run). This repo exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code.
|
|
|
|
Microsoft's build process (which we are running to build the binaries) does download additional files. This was brought up in [Microsoft/vscode#141340](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/141340) and [Microsoft/vscode#45978](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/45978). These are the packages downloaded during build:
|
|
|
|
- Extensions from the Microsoft Marketplace:
|
|
- [ms-vscode.references-view](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.references-view)
|
|
- [ms-vscode.js-debug-companion](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.js-debug-companion)
|
|
- [ms-vscode.js-debug](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.js-debug)
|
|
- [ms-vscode.vscode-js-profile-table](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.vscode-js-profile-table)
|
|
- From [Electron releases](https://github.com/electron/electron/releases) (using [gulp-atom-electron](https://github.com/joaomoreno/gulp-atom-electron))
|
|
- electron
|
|
- ffmpeg

### Documentation
|
|
|
|
For more information on getting all the telemetry disabled and tips for migrating from Visual Studio Code to VSCodium, have a look at this [Docs](https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md) page.
|
|
|
|
### Extensions and the Marketplace
|
|
|
|
According to the VS Code Marketplace [Terms of Use](https://aka.ms/vsmarketplace-ToU), _you may only install and use Marketplace Offerings with Visual Studio Products and Services._ For this reason, VSCodium uses [open-vsx.org](https://open-vsx.org/), an open source registry for VS Code extensions. See the [Extensions + Marketplace](https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md#extensions-marketplace) section on the Docs page for more details.
|
|
|
|
Please note that some Visual Studio Code extensions have licenses that restrict their use to the official Visual Studio Code builds and therefore do not work with VSCodium. See [this note](https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md#proprietary-debugging-tools) on the Docs page for what's been found so far and possible workarounds.
|
|
|
|
### How are the VSCodium binaries built?
|
|
|
|
If you would like to see the commands we run to build `vscode` into VSCodium binaries, have a look at the workflow files in `.github/workflows` for Windows, GNU/Linux and macOS. These build files call all the other scripts in the repo. If you find something that doesn't make sense, feel free to ask about it [on Gitter](https://gitter.im/VSCodium/Lobby).
|
|
|
|
The builds are run every day, but exit early if there isn't a new release from Microsoft.
