Ubuntu: Install Visual Studio Code via apt-get

Posted on June 8, 2017 Updated on June 7, 2017

Why fiddle with downloading from the browser when apt-get will do?

sudo add-apt-repository -y "deb https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode stable main"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EB3E94ADBE1229CF
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install code

If need upgrade

sudo apt -y upgrade
sudo apt -y dist-upgrade

great answer from zurfyx
