How do I install the linux version of VSCode on an ARM64 Chromebook?

Did I get the following error because my Chromebook has an ARM64 chip instead of Intel?

At this time Visual Studio Code compiled by Microsoft only supports x86 processors. The error message you received surrounding unmet dependencies with AMD64 indicates this fact.

Due to the fact Visual Studio Code is open source the open source community has ARM support covered.

The ARM64 version of Visual Studio Code is now available on the VS website:
