## Highlights
- **Code everywhere**
- Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a consistent development environment.
- Develop on a Linux machine and pick up from any device with a web browser.
- **Server-powered**
- Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more.
- Preserve battery life when you're on the go as all intensive tasks runs on your server.
- Make use of a spare computer you have lying around and turn it into a full development environment.
## Getting Started
For a full setup and walkthrough, please see [./doc/guide.md](./doc/guide.md).
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 install 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.
Docs on the install script, manual installation and docker image are at [./doc/install.md](./doc/install.md).
We also highly recommend reading the [FAQ](./doc/FAQ.md) on the [Differences compared to VS Code](./doc/FAQ.md#differences-compared-to-vs-code).
