This document demonstrates how to install `code-server` on
various distros and operating systems.
The steps in this document are exactly what the install script does.
We recommend using the install script if possible. You can run
the install script with the `--dry-run` flag for a dry run which will
print out the commands it will run to install `code-server` but
not run anything. That way you can verify the script is functioning
as intended before installing.
## install.sh
We have a script to install code-server on Linux or macOS preferring to use the system package manager.

- For Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian it will install the latest deb package.
- For Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, openSUSE it will install the latest rpm package.
- For Arch Linux it will install the AUR package.
- For any unrecognized Linux operating system it will install the latest static release into ~/.local
The script will print out how to run and start using code-server.
- Add ~/.local/bin to your \$PATH to run code-server.
- For Debian, Ubuntu and Raspbian it will install the latest deb package.
- For Fedora, CentOS, RHEL and openSUSE it will install the latest rpm package.
- For Arch Linux it will install the AUR package.
- For any unrecognized Linux operating system it will install the latest static release into `~/.local`
- Add `~/.local/bin` to your `$PATH` to run code-server.
- For macOS it will install the Homebrew package.
- If Homebrew is not installed it will install the latest static release into ~/.local
- If Homebrew is not installed it will install the latest static release into `~/.local`
- Add ~/.local/bin to your \$PATH to run code-server.
- If ran on an architecture with no binary releases, it will install the npm package with yarn or npm.
- If ran on an architecture with no binary releases, it will install the npm package with `yarn` or `npm`.
- We only have binary releases for amd64 and arm64 presently.
Pass `--dry-run` to echo the commands for the install process without running them.
Pass `--static` to install a static release into `~/.local`.
Pass `--static=/usr/local` to install a static release system wide.
Pass `--version=X.X.X` to install version `X.X.X` instead of latest.
If you still don't trust our install script, even with the above explaination and the dry run,
continue for docs on manual installation. The script runs the exact same commands depicted
in the rest of this document.
Pass `--help` to see full usage docs.
If you believe an install script used via curl is insecure, please give
[this wonderful blogpost](https://sandstorm.io/news/2015-09-24-is-curl-bash-insecure-pgp-verified-install) by
[sandstorm.io](https://sandstorm.io) a read.
If you'd still prefer manual installation despite the above explanations and `--dry-run`
then continue for docs on manual installation. The [`install.sh`](./install.sh) script runs the *exact* same
commands depicted in the rest of this document.
