## 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
See [requirements](requirements.md) for minimum specs, as well as instructions
on how to set up a Google VM on which you can install code-server.
**TL;DR:** Linux machine with WebSockets enabled, 1 GB RAM, and 2 CPUs
## Getting started
There are three ways to 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](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/v3.11.1/install)
3. Using our one-click buttons and guides to [deploy code-server to a cloud
provider](https://github.com/cdr/deploy-code-server) ⚡
If you 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/v3.11.1/guide) guide.
## TLS and authentication (beta)
