Installing Visual Studio Code

1. Download VS Code

code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/getting-started

• Go to code.visualstudio.com/download
• Download the build for your OS (Windows / macOS / Linux)

2. Run the Installer

• Windows — run the .exe and check "Add to PATH"
• macOS — unzip and drag Visual Studio Code.app into Applications
• Linux — install the .deb / .rpm package for your distribution

3. Open a Folder

• Launch VS Code
• File → Open Folder… and select your course folder
• VS Code treats that folder as your workspace

4. Trust the Workspace

• The first time you open a new folder, VS Code asks whether you trust the authors
• Choose "Yes, I trust the authors" for your own course files
• Trust controls whether extensions and tasks are allowed to run automatically
