Error while installing Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu 14.04
I've been trying to install MS Visual Studio Code after it was announced today, on my Ubuntu 14.04 computer. I've read the official docs and setup from Microsoft and I've read an answer to a question on this forum that asks for the installation process of Visual Studio Code.
But my question is specific, when I attempt to extract the downloaded zipped file to a new folder (as suggested by Microsoft), I get this error.
Even when I skip the extract to another folder process and directly double click on Code
, I still get the same error.
EDIT:
Unzipped from command line. It looks like everything was unzipped, but then when I double click on Code
, nothing happens at all.
If I try to run Code
through the terminal instead, I get this, and nothing else happens -
5195:0430/005338:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(170)] Running without the SUID sandbox!
See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment for more information on developing with the sandbox on.
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment
Solution 1:
cd
to the directory where you have downloaded VSCode-linux-x64.zip
and run unzip VSCode-linux-x64.zip -d ./vscode
to extract the contents of downloaded .zip file to a folder vscode
. I did it and it did not give me any error. I could not run it by clicking Code
because I am getting -bash: ./Code: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
, mostly because I am using 32-bit linux.
EDIT: Since you said you are getting default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment
error, try installing ttf-mscorefonts-installer
by sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
. It might help.
