Luckily for us, we can add an extension to VS Code to use SSH to connect to CSE machines. This allows us to edit files on another computer, such as the CSE servers, and run commands through a terminal on CSE servers. Some cool computer scientists invented a way to allow you to communicate with remote computers over the internet called SSH, or Secure Shell. You should now have VS Code installed! You can now edit files on your own computer, but that’s not quite what we want - our goal is to edit files on CSE machines. Restart your computer once you’re done.If prompted to do so during the installation process, select the checkbox which says ‘Add to PATH’.Download and install Visual Studio Code.you get it, don’t you? □□ Getting started □įirst of all, we’re going to acquaint ourselves with Visual Studio Code, or VS Code, a text editor. i am also not responsible if your computer blows up. Obligatory disclaimer: despite myself (and those acknowledged in this post) being employed by the school of cse at the time of writing, this does not necessarily reflect the views of my employer. This has the added benefits of not being affected by compression, especially if you have a poor connection, and being able to use a more fully fledged editor. The solution we’re about to go through provides a more seamless coding experience without having to load a full visual interface from CSE computers. f you’re currently doing COMP1511, I would strongly advise you to use the provided desktop environment and gedit over TigerVNC for the first week, just to familiarise yourself with it. You’ve likely used a program called TigerVNC to connect to the School of CSE’s computers before, which provides you a visual interface with a full desktop environment. We’re going to be setting up a text editor called Visual Studio Code, or VS Code, to remotely work on the CSE computers without needing a VNC client! Why are we doing this?
