TL;DR: Linux machine with WebSockets enabled, 1 GB RAM, and 2 vCPUs

There are five ways to get started:

1. Using theinstallscript, whichautomates most of the process. The script uses the system package manager ifpossible.
2. Manuallyinstallingcode-server
3. Deploy code-server to your team withcoder/coder
4. Using our one-click buttons and guides todeploy code-server to a cloudprovider ⚡
5. Using thecode-server feature fordevcontainers,if you already use devcontainers in your project.

If you use the install script, you can preview what occurs during the installprocess:

curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh| sh -s -- --dry-run

To install, run:

curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh| sh

When done, the install script prints out instructions for running and startingcode-server.
