## Highlights

- **Code everywhere**
  - Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a consistent development environment.
  - Develop on a Linux machine and pick up from any device with a web browser.
- **Server-powered**
  - Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more.
  - Preserve battery life when you're on the go as all intensive tasks run on your server.
  - Make use of a spare computer you have lying around and turn it into a full development environment.

## Getting Started

For a full setup and walkthrough, please see [./doc/guide.md](./doc/guide.md).

### Quick Install

We have a [script](./install.sh) to install code-server for Linux, macOS and FreeBSD.

It tries to use the system package manager if possible.

First run to print out the install process:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
```

Now to actually install:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
```

The install script will print out how to run and start using code-server.

### Manual Install

Docs on the install script, manual installation and docker image are at [./doc/install.md](./doc/install.md).
