Install Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu 17.04


Visual Studio Code is an awesome code editor, especially for web projects. Though it comes from Microsoft and the name implies it, this has nothing to do with Visual Studio as it is used for Windows development. It is rather based on Node.js and is lightweight and fast.

First I tried the installation using snap. This adds the latest version and also keeps it up-to-date

sudo snap install --classic vscode

Unfortunately the installation just installed the binary without doing any desktop integration. I was able to start it in bash with 

/snap/bin/vscode

But I do not like old style command line or better I don't want to keep all the commands in mind to start a desktop program.

So I downloaded it here https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders and installed it with



sudo dpkg -i code_1.14.2-1500506907_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install -f

sudo apt-get update

This made a complete install with all the desktop integration.
