how to install “visual studio code”?
I want develop c++11 on tx2.
Any IDE or text-editer is ok .
i choice “visual studio code”, but i can’t install it.
hwo to do?
or other good soft.
thank your times.
It looks like the pre-built packages for Linux provided by Microsoft are only for x86_64. For ARM architecture (aarch64), you would need to build it from source from their repo: [url]https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode[/url]
Alternatively, if you have trouble building VS Code from source, I personally use GEdit (“Text Editor” in Ubuntu Unity) with GEdit’s file browser panel on, and keep a Terminal window open for building with CMake and managing my repos with Git.
You might be interested in something like “geany” (not a complete substitute, but is sufficiently light weight combined with features and available on arm64):
sudo apt-get install geany
For a more complete IDE with debugger support, you may also use QtCreator.
Installing it on Jetson is not straight forward however, check this post.
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been trying to install vscode on my R28.2-DP.
I’ve had to install some extra packages:
apt-transport-https libxkbfile-dev libsecret-1-dev rpm
having already these packages
libx11-dev fakeroot
Also installed nodejs 8.11.2:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
and installed yarn
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yarn
but when I launch yarn in vscode directory, it fails:
nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:/media/nvidia/Data/VS_Code/vscode-master$ yarn
yarn install v1.7.0
$ node build/npm/preinstall.js

Ok, got it, but it has been a real pain…
The issue is that electron support for arm was a bit erratic in older versions.
Further than these Prerequisites :
cd <where_is_your_vscode_root>
gedit packages.json
Then you will change related lines into:
"electron-mksnapshot": "~2.0.0",
and
"gulp-atom-electron": "^1.17.0",
Then also edit file :
gedit test/smoke/package.json
and change related line into:
"electron": "^2.0.0",
Then you can run:
yarn --arch=arm64
npm rebuild --arch=arm64
The latter may fail, but this step may be required depending on node version mismatch. Although it fails, it should have rebuilt what was in wrong version.
Then, again:
yarn --arch=arm64
and
yarn --arch=arm64 run watch
Once it’s done and shows something like:
[01:41:16] Starting 'watch-client'...
[01:45:01] [monaco.d.ts] Starting monaco.d.ts generation
[01:45:10] [monaco.d.ts] Finished monaco.d.ts generation
[01:45:10] <b>Finished compilation with 0 errors</b> after 233562 ms
then in another shell edit:
cd <where_is_your_vscode_root>
gedit node_modules/gulp-atom-electron/src/download.js
go to function download and force version to 2.0.0:
function download(opts, cb) {
+ opts.version = '2.0.0';
var repo = opts.repo || 'atom/electron';
This is a nasty way to do, but I have no more time for finding a clean way.
You should then be able to launch vscode with:
./scripts/code.sh
Honey_Patouceu and linuxdev, thank you app is good.
i try build vscode on ubuntu 16.04 (on desktop x64, because i worry tx2 damage).
i am fail, I do not know what to do.
i give up.
i debug code on desktop ubuntu, than copy code to tx2.
becuse it is faster. (build code time and test Features time)
These instructions were for native building on TX2. For building on x64, you would probably just install nodejs and yarn, and then in vscode root, just run:
yarn
yarn run watch
and after compilation is finished run
./scripts/code.sh
in another shell.
If you’re trying to cross-compile vscode on x64 for arm64, maybe you can try to pass flag --target_arch=arm64 to yarn, but I haven’t tried it.
BTW, if someone else tried to build vscode natively on TX2, please share if it is working for you or not.
@Honey_Patouceul Thanks for your instruction. I built vscode on TX2 natively with below code. Has some modifications on your code. Comments:
1. add dependency libnss3.
2. remove parameter --arch=arm64.
3. command “yarn run watch” will finish successfully but not exit. Just manually stop it.
4. vscode will update ffmpeg and electron for the first time running.
5. vscode takes ~8 sec to load and show window.
6. totally takes extra ~2.2GB disk space. IMO it’s slow and huge as editor.

@Honey_Patouceul
today i test agin.
Is work! i am successful! (on Tx2)
@zxrgb
this is work!
I really appreciate~
that works for me also! Great!
Did you also know how enable the extension for C++ on TX2 after sucessfuly compile?
Is there also a way to compile the extensions?
thanks for you help
I haven’t used vscode much more and cannot tell, but if you’re ready for building/installing these you may find these here.
It may also be possible to get binaries online and updates, but I cannot tell how.
By the way guys, if anyone wants to use an extension in vscode after it’s installed, my understanding is that it requires the VSIX file (ctrl+shift+p and then type vsix, choose install extension from vsix) and prior to doing that, find that VSIX. I was looking for the one for vscode-python so I found in the github repo that specific extension file (under that link: [url]https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/releases[/url]). Hope this can help someone!! :)

I do not really know how to deal with it. Did someone stumbled upon the same issue and can point me in the right direction?
You may try this.

Hello Folks,
I have made a video that demonstrates the procedure to install VScode for C/C++ on Jetson TX2.
After a lot of trials, I succeeded with the installation on my TX2. So, thought of documenting it as it might save time for people who are trying it out new.
Cheers,
Sai
