This document demonstrates how to install `code-server` on various distros and
operating systems.
## install.sh
The easiest way to install code-server is to use our [install
script](../install.sh) for Linux, macOS and FreeBSD. The install script
[attempts to use the system package manager](#detection-reference) if possible.
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
```
You can modify the installation process by including one or more of the
following flags:
- `--dry-run`: echo the commands for the install process without running them.
- `--method`: choose the installation method.
- `--method=detect`: detect the package manager but fallback to
`--method=standalone`.
- `--method=standalone`: install a standalone release archive into `~/.local`.
- `--prefix=/usr/local`: install a standalone release archive system-wide.
- `--version=X.X.X`: install version `X.X.X` instead of latest version.
- `--help`: see usage docs.
When done, the install script prints out instructions for running and starting
code-server.
> If you're concerned about the install script's use of `curl | sh` and the
> security implications, please see [this blog
> post](https://sandstorm.io/news/2015-09-24-is-curl-bash-insecure-pgp-verified-install)
> by [sandstorm.io](https://sandstorm.io).
If you prefer to install code-server manually, despite the [detection
references](#detection-reference) and `--dry-run` feature, then continue on for
information on how to do this. The [`install.sh`](../install.sh) script runs the
_exact_ same commands presented in the rest of this document.
### Detection reference
- For Debian and Ubuntu, code-server will install the latest deb package.
- For Fedora, CentOS, RHEL and openSUSE, code-server will install the latest RPM
package.
- For Arch Linux, code-server will install the AUR package.
- For any unrecognized Linux operating system, code-server will install the
latest standalone release into `~/.local`.
- Ensure that you add `~/.local/bin` to your `$PATH` to run code-server.
- For macOS, code-server will install the Homebrew package (if you don't have
Homebrew installed, code-server will install the latest standalone release
into `~/.local`).
- Ensure that you add `~/.local/bin` to your `$PATH` to run code-server.
- For FreeBSD, code-server will install the [npm package](#yarn-npm) with `yarn`
or `npm`.
- If you're installing code-server onto architecture with no releases,
code-server will install the [npm package](#yarn-npm) with `yarn` or `npm`
- We currently offer releases for amd64 and arm64.
- The [npm package](#yarn-npm) builds the native modules on post-install.
## yarn, npm
We recommend installing with `yarn` or `npm` when:
1. You aren't using a machine with `amd64` or `arm64`.
2. You're on Linux with `glibc` < v2.17, `glibcxx` < v3.4.18 on `amd64`, `glibc`
< v2.23, or `glibcxx` < v3.4.21 on `arm64`.
3. You're running Alpine Linux or are using a non-glibc libc. See
[#1430](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1430#issuecomment-629883198)
for more information.
Installing code-server with `yarn` or `npm` builds native modules on install.
This process requires C dependencies; see our guide on [installing these
dependencies][./npm.md](./npm.md) for more information.
You must have Node.js v12 (or later) installed. See
[#1633](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1633).
To install:
```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
```
## Standalone releases
We publish self-contained `.tar.gz` archives for every release on
[GitHub](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases). The archives bundle the
node binary and node modules.
We create the standalone releases using the [npm package](#yarn-npm), and we
then create the remaining releases using the standalone version.
The only requirement to use the standalone release is `glibc` >= 2.17 and
`glibcxx` >= v3.4.18 on Linux (for macOS, there is no minimum system
requirement).
To use a standalone release:
1. Download the latest release archive for your system from
[GitHub](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases).
2. Unpack the release.
3. Run code-server by executing `./bin/code-server`.
You can add `./bin/code-server` to your `$PATH` so that you can execute
`code-server` without providing full path each time.
Here is a sample script for installing and using a standalone code-server
release on Linux:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.local/lib ~/.local/bin
curl -fL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v$VERSION/code-server-$VERSION-linux-amd64.tar.gz \
| tar -C ~/.local/lib -xz
mv ~/.local/lib/code-server-$VERSION-linux-amd64 ~/.local/lib/code-server-$VERSION
ln -s ~/.local/lib/code-server-$VERSION/bin/code-server ~/.local/bin/code-server
PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH"
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Debian, Ubuntu
> The standalone arm64 .deb does not support Ubuntu 16.04 or earlier. Please
> upgrade or [build with yarn](#yarn-npm).
```bash
curl -fOL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v$VERSION/code-server_$VERSION_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i code-server_$VERSION_amd64.deb
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, SUSE
> The standalone arm64 .rpm does not support CentOS 7. Please upgrade or [build
> with yarn](#yarn-npm).
```bash
curl -fOL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v$VERSION/code-server-$VERSION-amd64.rpm
sudo rpm -i code-server-$VERSION-amd64.rpm
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Arch Linux
```bash
# Install code-server from the AUR using yay.
yay -S code-server
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
```bash
# Install code-server from the AUR with plain makepkg.
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/code-server.git
cd code-server
makepkg -si
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER
# 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
```
## 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.
#
# Your $HOME/.config is mounted at $HOME/.config within the container to ensure you can
# easily access/modify your code-server config in $HOME/.config/code-server/config.json
# outside the container.
mkdir -p ~/.config
docker run -it --name code-server -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
-v "$HOME/.config:/home/coder/.config" \
-v "$PWD:/home/coder/project" \
-u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
-e "DOCKER_USER=$USER" \
codercom/code-server:latest
```
Our official image supports `amd64` and `arm64`. For `arm32` support, you can
use a [community-maintained code-server
alternative](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/code-server).
## Helm
You can install code-server via [Helm](../ci/helm-chart/README.md).
## Raspberry Pi
We recommend installing code-server onto Raspberry Pi with [`yarn` or
`npm`](#yarn-npm).
## Termux
Please see code-server's [Termux docs](./termux.md#installation) for more
information.
## Cloud providers
We maintain [one-click apps and install scripts for cloud
providers](https://github.com/cdr/deploy-code-server) such as DigitalOcean,
Railway, Heroku, and Azure.
