Visual Studio Code is a free and open-source source code editor developed by Microsoft. It is designed to be lightweight, fast, and versatile, providing developers with a powerful tool for coding, debugging, and source code management.

VSCode supports a wide range of programming languages and offers features like syntax highlighting, IntelliSense (code completion and suggestions), built-in Git integration, debugging tools, and a vast ecosystem of extensions.

When prompted, press 'y' and then press enter. You will have to press y followed by enter every time you are prompted for it.

Now let's upgrade the packages using the below command in Termux

Now let's install proot-distro using the following command:

pkg install proot-distro{codeBox}

 

Now let's list all the distros we can install using proot using the following command (This command is optional)

proot-distro list{codeBox}

You will see a screen like this:

Now fire this command and Ubuntu will start to install on your Android phone.

Ubuntu will start installing and you will see a screen like this:

Now, start Ubuntu by firing the following command:

Step 3 - Downloading code server

While on Ubuntu run the following command:

apt update {codeBox}

and following command to upgrade the package repository:

apt upgrade{codeBox}

 

Press 'y' and enter whenever prompted.

Now install wget using the following command:

apt install wget {codeBox}

 

Again press 'y' and enter whenever prompted to confirm the installation. You now have wget installed!

We will now download the latest release of the code server from Github using the following command:

Enter the /bin folder of your code-server installation on Ubuntu (running on your phone)

cd code-server-4.16.1-linux-arm64 cd bin {codeBox}

 

Step 4 - Set up a password and start using VS Code

Setup a password for your VS Code instance using the following command:

export PASSWORD="password" {codeBox}

 

Note: I am using a very weak password for demonstration purposes as I will use this code-server locally on my phone. Consider using strong passwords for your serious projects

Launch the code server using the following command:

./code-server {codeBox}

 

Now go to your browser. I am using Google Chrome for Android and go to localhost:8080

You will finally see a screen like this:

After entering the password you will see a welcome screen like this:

You can now start coding in VS Code on your Android Devices

Caveats:

1. If the update command doesn't work on your Termux or you get some other network errors, try to change the default repo by using the command below:

termux-change-repo {codeBox}

 

Change the repository to Mirror by Grimle and try the pkg update command again. It should work!

2. Whenever prompted, press 'y' and then press enter. You will have to press y followed by enter every time you are prompted for it.

If you are facing any probleam or error in this tool then please let's me known.
