What is the de-facto approach to install VSCode on a Linux distribution e.g., Fedora as a non-root user? In other words, I want to install VSCode without using sudo permissions? Is there a way to git clone the repo and use it?
Any pointers are welcome!
download this file: https://code.visualstudio.com/sha/download?build=stable&os=linux-x64 extract it and then just start vscode.
To start vscode: go to VSCode-linux-x64 directory and run this command
./code
It appears that downloading the .rpm file and running:
rpm2cpio the_file_name.rpm | cpio -idv
from the directory where it is downloaded will unpack VSCode's contents. Then, exporting the path to bin/code is sufficient.
