- Code on any device with a consistent development environment
- Use cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more
- Preserve battery life when you're on the go; all intensive tasks run on your server
See requirements for minimum specs, as well as instructions 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 vCPUs
There are five 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
- Deploy code-server to your team with coder/coder
- Using our one-click buttons and guides to deploy code-server to a cloud provider ⚡
- Using the code-server feature for devcontainers, if you already use devcontainers in your project.
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-runTo install, run:
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | shWhen done, the install script prints out instructions for running and starting code-server.
Note To manage code-server for a team on your infrastructure, see: coder/coder
We also have an in-depth setup and configuration guide.
