Hi everyone.
I need help to start. 
I'm pretty new to Linux and I would like to install some software. I couldn't do it by myself (not even with ChatGPT guidance 
).
Can someone teach me or send me the documentation on how to install Visual Studio Code? I'm using FossaPup64 9.5 (Ubuntu Focal 64 [x86_64 64-bit]).
Thanks everyone.
Thank you so much for trying to help. But I need more attention if you have the chance to help more. Do you mind sending me a link (or even tell me) how to install a program in Puppy? A program like Figma/VSCODE? Thanks again
@lucas-faria :-
Probably the simplest way to work with Visual Studio code in Puppy is to use the "VSCodium" AppImage from their repo at Github:-
https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases
Download here:- https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/re ... 4.AppImage - that's a direct link. You'll end up with a binary file labelled as follows:-
VSCodium-1.76.0.23062.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage
That's the one you will want.
AppImages are like 'portable' applications which you can share between, or run on multiple different Linux distros.
-----------------------------------
By default, AppImages come as non-executable; that's a security measure. You'll need to make the file executable, before it will run. So; right-click on the file->Properties. Tick the 3 'Exec' checkboxes down the bottom->Refresh->OK/Close. All done.
Now, to run this particular AppImage, it needs a 'switch' to be specified. The "--no-sandbox" switch, to be exact. I've attached a wee script to this post; once you've downloaded the AppImage, move it to /usr/bin. Then move the weescript to /usr/bin as well. Having done that, a click on the "Run-VSCodium" script should launch it for you.
Assuming it works, you can then drag'n'drop the "Run-VSCodium" script from /usr/bin onto the desktop. You can then use it as a 'launcher'.
Let us know how you get on, please.
