VS Code Installation

RHEL, Fedora, and CentOS based distributions#

We currently ship the stable 64-bit VS Code in a yum repository, the following script will install the key and repository:

sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[code]\nname=Visual Studio Code\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/vscode\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" > /etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo'

Then update the package cache and install the package using dnf (Fedora 22 and above):

sudo dnf check-update
sudo dnf install code

Or on older versions using yum:

yum check-update
sudo yum install code

dead.letter (linux)

The man page for my mailx says a lot of things about set nosave and so on, but they don’t seem to work. The only way to stop your dead.letter file growing I have found is to replace it by a link to the special file /dev/null.

rm ~/dead.letter

ln -s /dev/null ~/dead.letter
