Installing VS Code on Linux

Follow these steps for installation:

1. On your Debian or Ubuntu-based Linux machine, open a Bash Terminal and execute the following statement to install VS Code:

$ sudo snap install --classic code

2. If you're using a Linux distribution that's not based on Debian or Ubuntu, then please follow the following link for more details: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux
3. Once VS Code has been installed successfully, navigate to your home directory (~) and create a folder, fundamentals-of-docker; then navigate into this new folder:

$ mkdir ~/fundamentals-of-docker && cd ~/fundamentals-of-docker

4. Now open Visual Studio Code from within this folder:

$ code .

Don't forget the period (.) in the preceding command. VS will start and open the current folder (~/fundamentals-of-docker) as the working folder.
