## Highlights
- Code on any device with a consistent development environment
- Use cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more
- Preserve battery life when you're on the go; all intensive tasks run on your server
## Requirements
For a good experience, we recommend at least:
- 1 GB of RAM
- 2 cores
You can use whatever linux distribution floats your boat but in our [guide](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/v3.10.2/guide) we assume Debian on Google Cloud.
## Getting Started
There are three ways you can get started:
1. Using the [install script](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/install.sh), which automates most of the process. The script uses the system package manager (if possible)
2. Manually installing code-server; see [Installation](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/v3.10.2/install) for instructions applicable to most use cases
3. Use our one-click buttons and guides to [deploy code-server to a popular cloud provider](https://github.com/cdr/deploy-code-server) ⚡
If you choose to use the install script, you can preview what occurs during the install process:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
```
To install, run:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
```
When done, the install script prints out instructions for running and starting code-server.
We also have an in-depth [setup and configuration](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/v3.10.2/guide) guide.
### code-server --link
We're working on a cloud platform that makes deploying and managing code-server easier.
Consider running code-server with the beta flag `--link` if you don't want to worry about
- TLS
- Authentication
- Port Forwarding
```bash
$ code-server --link
Proxying code-server, you can access your IDE at https://valmar-jon.cdr.co
