When you open this page you will see suggested plugins to download and install. You can also access this section by pressing Ctrl+Shift+X. The bottom icon, which looks like four squares in a box with the top right square exploding out, is the icon for the Extensions Marketplace: On the left-hand side of the IDE there is a vertical row of five icons.
This is where you will search for the Remote-SSH plugin and install it. The Extensions Marketplace is where you can download supported and third-party extensions for a variety of different tools and programming languages. Step 1 - Installing the Remote-SSH Plugin
In this tutorial, you’ll enable the Remote-SSH plugin, configure Visual Studio Code to execute code on the remote server, and execute code from your local Visual Studio Code installation on the remote server.
You may need more RAM or processing power than your current machine has available, or you want to keep code off of your personal machine due to a company policy, or the desire to keep your workstation prestine. For example, you may have a Windows workstation and want to develop on Windows, but your code will eventually run on Linux. There are many reasons why this may be beneficial to you. With this plugin you can edit files on your local workstation, but run development tasks such as program execution, unit tests, or static analysis on a remote server.
This tutorial focuses on using the Remote-SSH plugin to enable remote software development. Its large selection of plugins, minimal design, and cross-platform support make it a great choice for developers of all levels. If you’d like to install everything manually, simply download the code-server Linux distributable and extract it to the desired location on the RSP host(s).Visual Studio Code is a popular Integrated Developer Environment (IDE) for developers. Note: You must also install code-server on any Launcher nodes (for Local or Slurm plugins) and within any containers used (if using Kubernetes). Once the installation completes, you’ll need to restart the RStudio service for it to detect availability of VS Code sessions. Sudo rstudio -server install -vs -code /opt /code -server For example, to install everything at /opt/code-server: # likely need root privilege to install to /opt This will install the code-server binary, the R and Python extensions, and automatically configure /etc/rstudio/nf. To install, simply run the command rstudio-server install-vs-code. code-server is a wrapper which allows access to Visual Studio code via a webserver in a browser, allowing RSP to create VS Code sessions and proxy them through the browser. In order to add VS Code integration to RSP, you must first install the open-source code-server wrapper, available at.
