## Installing Visual Studio Code<a name="en-us_topic_0000001058091994_section71401018163318"></a>

>![](public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:** 
>If you have installed Visual Studio Code, open the CLT and run  **code --version**  to check whether the version is 1.53 or later. If the version number is returned, it indicates that the environment variables are set correctly.

1.  Double-click the Visual Studio Code package to install it. During the installation, select  **Add to PATH \(requires shell restart\)**.

    ![](figures/en-us_image_0000001174350653.png)

2.  After the installation is complete, restart the computer for the environment variables of Visual Studio Code to take effect.
3.  Open the CLT and run  **code --version**. If the version number can be displayed, it indicates that the installation is successful.

## Installing Python<a name="en-us_topic_0000001058091994_section16266553175320"></a>

1.  Double-click the Python software package, select  **Add Python xx to PATH**, and click  **Install Now**.

    ![](figures/en-us_image_0000001128471042.png)

2.  After the installation is complete, click  **Close**.

    ![](figures/en-us_image_0000001128311104.png)

3.  Open the CLT, and run  **python --version**  to check the installation result.

    ![](figures/en-us_image_0000001174350781.png)

4.  In the CLT, run the following commands to set the pip source for downloading the dependencies required for later installation:

    ```
    pip config set global.trusted-host repo.huaweicloud.com
    pip config set global.index-url https://repo.huaweicloud.com/repository/pypi/simple
    pip config set global.timeout 120
    ```


## Installing Node.js<a name="en-us_topic_0000001058091994_section5353233124511"></a>

>![](public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:** 
>If you have installed Node.js, open the CLT and run  **node -v**  to check whether the version is 12.0.0 or later.

1.  Run the downloaded software package to install. Use the default settings when following the installation wizard, and click  **Next**  until  **Finish**  is displayed. During the installation, Node.js will automatically set the system Path environment variable to the installation directory of  **node.exe**.
2.  Open the CLT and run  **node -v**. If the version number of Node.js is displayed, it indicates that Node.js has been successfully installed.

## Installing hpm<a name="en-us_topic_0000001058091994_section173054793610"></a>

Before installing hpm, ensure that Node.js has been installed

and that your network can access the Internet. If your network requires a proxy to access the Internet,  [set up the npm proxy](https://device.harmonyos.com/cn/docs/ide/user-guides/npm_proxy-0000001054491032)  first.

>![](public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:** 
>If hpm has been installed, run  **npm update -g @ohos/hpm-cli**  to update it to the latest version.

1.  You are advised to set the npm source to an image in China, for example, a HUAWEI CLOUD image source.

    ```
    npm config set registry https://repo.huaweicloud.com/repository/npm/
    ```

2.  Open the CLT and run the following command to install the latest version of hpm:

    ```
    npm install -g @ohos/hpm-cli
    ```

    ![](figures/en-us_image_0000001128311100.png)

3.  After the installation is complete, run the following command to obtain the installation result:

    ```
    hpm -V
    ```

## Installing the DevEco Device Tool Plug-in<a name="en-us_topic_0000001058091994_section4336315185716"></a>

To install the DevEco Device Tool plug-in, ensure that the  **user name of the host cannot contain Chinese characters**; otherwise, the plug-in may fail to run.

DevEco Device Tool will automatically download and install the C/C++ and CodeLLDB plug-ins from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace during the installation process. Therefore, make sure Visual Studio Code can access the Internet. If your network requires a proxy to access the Internet,  [set up the Visual Studio Code proxy](https://device.harmonyos.com/cn/docs/ide/user-guides/vscode_proxy-0000001074231144)  first.

>![](public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:** 
>Before installing DevEco Device Tool, ensure that Visual Studio Code is closed.

1.  Decompress the DevEco Device Tool plug-in package and double-click the installer to install.
2.  During the installation, the dependency files \(such as C/C++ and CodeLLDB plug-ins\) and execution programs required by DevEco Device Tool are automatically installed.

    ![](figures/en-us_image_0000001128470902.png)

3.  After the installation is complete, the CLT is automatically closed.
4.  Open Visual Studio Code, click the  ![](figures/en-us_image_0000001174350651.png)  button on the left, and check whether C/C++, CodeLLDB, and DevEco Device Tool are listed in  **INSTALLED**.

    >![](public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:** 
    >If the C/C++ and CodeLLDB plug-ins fail to be installed, DevEco Device Tool cannot run properly. To solve the issue, see  [Installing the C/C++ and CodeLLDB Plug-ins Offline](https://device.harmonyos.com/en/docs/ide/user-guides/offline_plugin_install-0000001074376846).
