For developers, an IDE is an essential tool.

However, most powerful IDEs run on x86 architecture, and unless some major companies ensure compatibility with their products, there are few popular IDEs that support other architectures.

Unexpectedly, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has recently announced support for VS Code.

VS Code has officially entered the Raspberry Pi OS repository!

Raspberry Pi Now Supports Visual Studio Code!

VS Code is a free and open-source IDE originally designed for x86 architecture on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is ready to use out of the box, supporting regular text editing and git source control, as well as local or remote debugging. Its powerful extension capabilities support a wide range of programming languages including JS, Python, and Golang.

The recently released Raspberry Pi Pico has even included the installation and debugging methods for VS Code in its “Getting Started Guide”.

If your Raspberry Pi is running Raspberry Pi OS, you can get VS Code up and running on your system by simply executing two commands.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install code -y

After installing VS Code, you can run it from the Programming directory in the Raspberry Pi menu.

Friendly reminder: For a smoother debugging experience, it is recommended to use a Raspberry Pi with 4GB of RAM or higher.
