You can install code-server via [Helm](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/ci/helm-chart/README.md).
## Windows
We currently [do not publish Windows releases](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1397). We recommend installing code-server onto Windows with [`yarn` or `npm`](#yarn-npm).
> Note: You will also need to [build cdr/cloud-agent manually](https://github.com/cdr/cloud-agent/issues/17) if you would like to use `code-server --link` on Windows.
## Raspberry Pi
We recommend installing code-server onto Raspberry Pi with [`yarn` or
Installing code-server requires all of the [prerequisites for VS Code development](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#prerequisites). When installing the C++ compiler tool chain, we recommend using "Option 2: Visual Studio 2019" for best results.
Next, install code-server with:
```bash
yarn global add code-server
# Or: npm install -g code-server
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
A `postinstall.sh` script will attempt to run. Select your terminal (e.g., Git bash) as the default application for `.sh` files. If an additional dialog does not appear, run the install command again.
If the `code-server` command is not found, you'll need to [add a directory to your PATH](https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/). To find the directory, use the following command:
```shell
yarn global bin
# Or: npm config get prefix
```
For help and additional troubleshooting, see [#1397](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1397).
## Installing
After adding the dependencies for your OS, install the code-server package globally:
```bash
yarn global add code-server
# Or: npm install -g code-server
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
