🔁 Optional: Installing Extensions & Customization |
VSCode’s strength lies in extensibility. Add popular extensions:
code --install-extension ms-python.python
code --install-extension ms-vscode.cpptools
To automate extension installs, prepare a script (e.g. install-extensions.sh):
#!/bin/bash
extensions=(
ms-python.python
ms-vscode.cpptools
eamodio.gitlens
)
for ext in "${extensions[@]}"; do
code --install-extension "$ext"
done
Make executable and run:
chmod +x install-extensions.sh
./install-extensions.sh
🔁 Uninstalling VSCode |
When needed, remove VSCode cleanly:
sudo dnf remove -y code
sudo rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo
| Issue | Troubleshooting Steps |
|---|---|
| GPG key import error | Check internet or correct URL: https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc |
dnf: package not found | Run sudo dnf clean all && sudo dnf check-update |
| Launch fails (GUI) | Install dependencies: sudo dnf install -y libXScrnSaver |
| Locale or font rendering issues | Set environment vars (e.g. LANG=en_US.UTF-8) and verify "code --verbose" |
