If you're installing code-server via `npm`, you'll need to install additional
dependencies required to build the native modules used by VS Code. This article
includes installing instructions based on your operating system.
> **WARNING**: Do not use `yarn` to install code-server. Unlike `npm`, it does not respect
> lockfiles for distributed applications. It will instead use the latest version
> available at installation time - which might not be the one used for a given
> code-server release, and [might lead to unexpected behavior](https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/4927).
## Node.js version

chore: upgrade Code to 1.66 (#5135) * chore: upgrade Code to 1.66 * docs: update docs for Code upgrades * fixup!: docs * chore: update vscode submodule * chore: update integration patch * chore: update node-version patch * chore: update github-auth patch They completely changed how auth is handled for GitHub in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/145424 so our patch may not work. Will need to test and revisit. * refactor: remove postinstall patch It appears they renamed postinstall.js to postinstall.mjs and removed the use of `rimraf` which means our patch is no longer needed! :tada: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/commit/b0e8554cced292871a67748a18926cfd02f4e840 * chore: refresh local-storage patch * chore: refresh service-worker patch * chore: bulk refresh patches * fixup!: docs formatting * refactor: remove unused last-opened patch * fixup!: formatting docs * fixup!: formatting docs * refactor: remove rsync postinstall * Revert "refactor: remove rsync postinstall" This reverts commit 8d6b613e9d779ba18d0297710614516cde108bcf. * refactor: update postinstall.js to .mjs * feat(patches): add parent-origin bypass * docs(patches): add notes for testing store-socket * docs(patches): update testing info for node-version * refactor(patches): delete github-auth.diff patch * docs(patches): add notes for testing connection-type * fixup!: delete github-auth patch * fixup!: update connection type testing * docs(patches): add notes to insecure-notification.diff * docs(patches): add nots for update-check.diff * fixup!: remove comma in integration patch * fix(e2e): disable workspace trust * refactor: add --no-default-rc for yarn install * feat(patches): remove yarnrc in presinstall * fixup!: silly mistake * docs: add note about KEEP_MODULES=1 * docs(patches): add testing notes for node-version * refactor(patches): remove node-version It appears this is no longer needed due to the `remote/package.json` now which targets node rather than electron. * fixup!: add cd ../.. to code upgrade instructions * fixup!: add note to yarn --production flag * fixup!: make parent-origin easier to upstream * Revert "refactor(patches): delete github-auth.diff patch" This reverts commit 31a354a34345309fadc475491b392d7601e51a32. * Revert "fixup!: delete github-auth patch" This reverts commit bdeb5212e8c7be6cadd109941b486a4bcdae69fa. * Merge webview origin patch into webview patch * Remove unused post-install patch * Prevent builtin extensions from updating * Refresh sourcemaps patch * Update Node to v16 This matches the version in ./lib/vscode/remote/.yarnrc. I changed the engine to exactly 16 since if you use any different version it will just not work since the modules will have been built for 16 (due to the .yarnrc). * Replace fs.rmdir with fs.rm Node is showing a deprecation warning about it. * Update github-auth patch The local credentials provider is no longer used when there is a remote so this code moved into the backend web credential provider. * Prevent fs.rm from erroring about non-existent files We were using fs.rmdir which presumably did not have the same behavior in v14 (in v16 fs.rmdir also errors). * Install Python 3 in CentOS CI container Co-authored-by: Asher <ash@coder.com>

We use the same major version of Node.js shipped with Code's remote, which is
currently `20.x`. VS Code also [lists Node.js
requirements](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#prerequisites).
2021-03-10 02:20:14 +08:00
Using other versions of Node.js [may lead to unexpected
behavior](https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/1633).

Installing code-server requires all of the [prerequisites for VS Code development](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#prerequisites). When installing the C++ compiler tool chain, we recommend using "Option 2: Visual Studio 2019" for best results.
Next, install code-server with:
```bash
npm install --global code-server
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
A `postinstall.sh` script will attempt to run. Select your terminal (e.g., Git bash) as the default shell for npm run-scripts. If an additional dialog does not appear, run the install command again.

If the `code-server` command is not found, you'll need to [add a directory to your PATH](https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/). To find the directory, use the following command:
```shell
npm config get prefix
```
For help and additional troubleshooting, see [#1397](https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/1397).
## Installing
After adding the dependencies for your OS, install the code-server package globally:
```bash
npm install --global code-server
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Troubleshooting

page](https://github.com/coder/code-server/discussions).
### Issues with Node.js after version upgrades
Occasionally, you may run into issues with Node.js.
If you install code-server using `npm`, and you upgrade your Node.js
version, you may need to reinstall code-server to recompile native modules.
Sometimes, you can get around this by navigating into code-server's `lib/vscode`
directory and running `npm rebuild` to recompile the modules.
A step-by-step example of how you might do this is:
1. Install code-server: `brew install code-server`
2. Navigate into the directory: `cd /usr/local/Cellar/code-server/<version>/libexec/lib/vscode/`
3. Recompile the native modules: `npm rebuild`
4. Restart code-server

### Debugging install issues with npm
To debug installation issues, install with `npm`:
2021-08-25 06:25:04 +08:00
```shell
# Uninstall
npm uninstall --global code-server > /dev/null 2>&1
2021-08-25 06:25:04 +08:00
# Install with logging
npm install --loglevel verbose --global code-server
2021-08-25 06:25:04 +08:00
```
