Install and Run C++ in Visual Studio Code (Linux) 

Dr. Fraser. Thank you for what you are doing. I am 81 years old. I have, for many years, wanted to learn some basics about programming. I shall be following your site.

I can't thank you enough for this. I've spent about 20 hours trying to get c++ to compile and run on vscode linux. Now it finally works. Thank you sooo much for this

finally got vs code up and running in debian... hats off to you, sir 😄

Man, your voice is relaxing. :D I don't know but feels like more polite lol :D

Thank you very much! Following these instructions, I could easily get the C++ compiler (g++) running in my existing VS Code that I had installed a few weeks ago to use PlatformIO. 🙂 As I am new to VS Code and therefore not familiar yet with how the use the different extensions, I appreciate especially the valuable information you provided regarding starting the IDE from the command line! This allows me to simply start the software from either a folder containing PlatformIO projects or a folder that I am using for the C++ stuff.🙂

Another person thanking you here. I have been away a couple years from trying to get back into coding. This saved me a lot of time to get started with VS Code in Linux.

thank you for including a section about things that can go wrong.

Thank you so much. I am a coder and I was struggling with this for half an hour and your solution worked. Thanks again.

Super helpful! I followed a website tutorial but it didn't work for me, so thanks for making this!

Thanks a lot man I was struggling with vs code for quite long time but can't understand anything and your video worked like a magic✨

Definitely recommend this tut fixed to topic and precise. Nothing more just go with this one

Great Tutorial! It works finally on my Mint 20! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much, I tried searching for it but none of the articles I found explained as clearly as your video.

Thanks alot man, you helped me get past hours worth of hassle.

Sir, I watched all your videos. There's no particular tutorial on RU-vid about setting up an IDE or Editor for programming in Assembly. Every CS student has to go through assembly programming. I hope you'd make a tutorial soon

thank you for this tutorial .. it was so easy to understand and super useful!

I am from India Thanku very much it helped me alot

I installed vsc without g++ and It wouldn't run my hello world. Is that it? If I install g++ will it work?

Thanks a lot for your simplest tutorial 🙏🙏

mine just opens an empty json without anything inside except for my theme. the little suggestion bar doesn't do after i select GDB/LLDB just opens the empty json file in settings.json

Classic code is not working Error showing

hello, this tutorial is amazing. But I have an issue regarding the installation of classic code. I have a Mac of which the architecture is M1, and therefore it is giving the error: snap "code" is not available on stable for this architucture (arm64) but exists on other architectures (amd64) what should I do??

Why does VS Code automatically create the launch.json file here? Is there some sort of add-on that does it? Mine only creates a tasks.json file.

Thanks man! That was very helpful!

Love you brother, you made it simple

You can install Vscode from snap store without the terminal.

Very good explaination thank you Professor Fraser

Thanks. Followed your instructions in Manjaro Linux and used clang instead

Only thing that is different on my system(linux mint) is that the "[1] + done" is on the same line(no spacing between) as the string i printed out. Would like to change that.

If anyone has #include errors, try changing clang to g++ in the json file

Extremely helpful and didactic! Thanks!

Hi i need help setting up VS code for C++ windows executable apps but I use Ubuntu not Windows

Setting the environment doesn't work for me, all it does it open a .json settings file and then when i try to run it again it does the same thing all over.

I have a permissions issue. My .c file compile/build but when I run them they all say permission denied. This is what shows in the xterm that pops up. Even after I set the chmod +x or even 788 I still get this. What do I need to do? It does this whether in sh, bash, or csh

Just a little correction, installing snap alone didn't work because it said " sudo: snap: command not found" It worked after installing snapd after it.

Thanks for the info!!

Hi Brian, thanks for this super helpful video. Just a problem I'm facing: I'm having to choose the environment (g++) every time I hit F5 not sure why? Any suggestions? thanks again!!

Thank you so much for this kind of video

Thank you for this video, can i ask you: how setting/use hot keys for the compilier in VScode? If i want use keybord for the start programm.

Great video. Btw what computer glasses are u wearing?

This cool. You are the best!

Excelente explicação! Muito obrigado!

thank's man, you've very helped me.

Thank you very much.. It's very helpful for me..

How would one add includes, Libs and inherit from other files ?

When I run C++ code to compile, my system freezes for a bit before I see any output in the terminal. After the compilation, my system(the VM image I'm using) ends up very laggy. I'll find a fix for this, but seems like it's an issue with the RAM and/or CPU.

Thank you so much, it was really helpful

How do you get the updated 10.02

omg linux is so much simpler and cleaner than windows

Why don’t you show how to develop with more than one .cpp file? Nobody uses a single .cpp file in real life.
