[Nigel Price]

Hi

I am trying to install Visual Studio Code on my 12" iPad Pro - so there is pleanty of poke there.

I find the Visual Studio Code downloads and I click on Down Load for Mac and I get a zip file !!!!

How can I install this zip file on my iPad ?

Thanks

What about this option… 

If you need to run VSC install it on a super portable computer? And remote into it?

Raspberry Pi.

I don’t know how many resources the portable VSC would need but there are lots of different options for the rPI (1, 4, 8 GB) and storage is on board microSD or usb flash drive?

I guess it depends on your use case and how much resources you would need.

I haven’t done it but might try it..

Heyy just wanted to mention that you can always just use vscode.dev for an online in-browser version of vscode, this also works in safari

@Keksi Aye - and open any GitHub repo in your browser and press “.”

Blew me away the first time I tried that!

Hello!

It is possible to use Visual Studio Code web-based, which is a great way to use it, but it is limited to use. If you want to access Visual Studio Code on your iPad, you will need to do so through any browser, such as the built-in Safari. You can access it here: https://vscode.dev/. I hope that was helpful.

I figured I would pop in years later and say that I have a bit of a work around. But it requires connectivity.

code-server running on a machine with WAN access, DNS and reverse proxy. Though I guess you could just run it raw.
