# building Visual Studio Code Debian package on ARM

# get source code
git clone [email protected]:Microsoft/vscode.git
cd vscode

# build debian package
./scripts/npm.sh install --arch=armhf
./node_modules/.bin/gulp vscode-linux-arm-build-deb

# locate built package, install and run
find . -name *.deb #this will give location of built package
sudo dpkg install [location-from-previous-step]
code-oss # to run the installed program

Thank you for the clear instructions.

• Build succeeded
• Package installed successfully with dpkg
• Menu item is created
• Binaries nowhere to be found

What am I missing here, besides the binaries?

i got this npm error :Failed to find Electron v1.7.0 for linux-armhf at https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v1.7.0/chromedriver-v1.7.0-linux-armhf.zip

I looked at github.com/electron/electron/releases/ and there is no package for armhf at all. So how could you finish compiling the VScode?? thx

When running "./scripts/npm.sh install --arch=armhf" I get "no command yarn"

When I try running yarn from shell I get recommendation to run "apt install cmdtest".

I install cmdtext and when I run "./scripts/npm.sh install --arch=armhf" I now get "yarn does not recognise --arch"

I am running ARMBIAN 5.59 stable Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 4.14.65-sunxi on orange pi zero.

Is this the same as vscode? Will it get updates?
