This document demonstrates how to install `code-server` on
various distros and operating systems.
## install.sh
We have a [script](./install.sh) to install code-server for Linux and macOS.
It tries to use the system package manager if possible.
First run to print out the install process:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
```
Now to actually install:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
```
The script will print out how to run and start using code-server.
If you believe an install script used with `curl | sh` 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 below [detect reference](#detect-reference) and `--dry-run`
then continue on for docs on manual installation. The [`install.sh`](./install.sh) script runs the _exact_ same
commands presented in the rest of this document.
### Flags
- `--dry-run` to echo the commands for the install process without running them.
- `--method` to choose the installation method.
- `--method=detect` to detect the package manager but fallback to `--method=archive`.
- `--method=archive` to install a static release archive into `~/.local`.
- `--prefix=/usr/local` to install a static release archive system wide.
- `--version=X.X.X` to install version `X.X.X` instead of latest.
- `--help` to see full usage docs.
### Detect Reference
- 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 `$PATH` to run code-server.
- For macOS it will install the Homebrew package.
- If Homebrew is not installed it will install the latest static release into `~/.local`.
- Add `~/.local/bin` to your `$PATH` to run code-server.
- If ran on an architecture with no binary releases, it will install the npm package with `yarn` or `npm`.
- We only have binary releases for amd64 and arm64 presently.
## Debian, Ubuntu
```bash
curl -fOL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.3.1/code-server_3.3.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i code-server_3.3.1_amd64.deb
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, SUSE
```bash
curl -fOL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.3.1/code-server-3.3.1-amd64.rpm
sudo rpm -i code-server-3.3.1-amd64.rpm
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Arch Linux
```bash
# Installs code-server from the AUR using yay.
yay -S code-server
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
```bash
# Installs code-server from the AUR with plain makepkg.
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/code-server.git
cd code-server
makepkg -si
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## yarn, npm
We recommend installing with `yarn` or `npm` when:
1. You aren't on `amd64` or `arm64`.
2. If you're on Linux with glibc < v2.17
**note:** Installing via `yarn` or `npm` builds native modules on install and so requires C dependencies.
See [./doc/npm.md](./doc/npm.md) for installing these dependencies.
You will need at least node v12 installed. See [#1633](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1633).
```bash
yarn global add code-server
# Or: npm install -g code-server
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## macOS
```bash
brew install code-server
brew services start code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Static Releases
We publish self contained `.tar.gz` archives for every release on [github](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases).
They bundle the node binary and `node_modules`.
1. Download the latest release archive for your system from [github](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases).
2. Unpack the release.
3. You can run code-server by executing `./bin/code-server`.
You can add the code-server `bin` directory to your `$PATH` to easily execute `code-server`
without the full path every time.
Here is an example script for installing and using a static `code-server` release on Linux:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.local/lib ~/.local/bin
curl -fL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.3.1/code-server-3.3.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz \
| tar -C ~/.local/lib -xz
mv ~/.local/lib/code-server-3.3.1-linux-amd64 ~/.local/lib/code-server-3.3.1
ln -s ~/.local/lib/code-server-3.3.1/bin/code-server ~/.local/bin/code-server
PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH"
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Docker
```bash
# This will start a code-server container and expose it at http://127.0.0.1:8080.
# It will also mount your current directory into the container as `/home/coder/project`
# and forward your UID/GID so that all file system operations occur as your user outside
# the container.
docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
-v "$PWD:/home/coder/project" \
-u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
codercom/code-server:latest
```
Our official image supports `amd64` and `arm64`.
For `arm32` support there is a popular community maintained alternative:
