### Note before installing

    This guide uses: sudo, git, pacman, and the Arch/AUR repositories.


    The mentioned later script was tested only on EndeavourOS(Arch-based)


    I do not take any responsibility for any kind of damage this guide or script might cause,


    use them at your own risk.








### Auto-Install

 download the `auto-Installer-Visual-Studio-Code.sh` file. 


    🞄 Note: if you have multiple users on your system edit the script and 


    🞄      in `userName=*` replace the `*` with your preferred user's name. 


    now enter the next commands into the terminal: 


    `sudo chmod +x auto-Installer-Visual-Studio-Code.sh` 


    `sudo pacman -Syu`


    `./auto-Installer-Visual-Studio-Code.sh`


    🞄 the script will ask you multiple times to confirm the installations.


    🞄 after the script finishes follow the `Manual-Install (set-up C# and Code-Runner)`




### Manual-Install

    enter the next command into the terminal: `sudo pacman -Syu`


    now enter the next commands: 


    `sudo pacman -S dotnet-sdk git gcc-libs glibc gnupg gtk3 libnotify libsecret libxss lsof nss shared-mime-info xdg-utils glib2` 


    to verify that the installation of the framework worked, type: 


    `dotnet --version` 


    now we'll install the software itself: 


    `cd Downloads/` 


    `git clone https://AUR.archlinux.org/visual-studio-code-bin.git` 


    `cd visual-studio-code-bin/` 


    `makepkg` 


    `sudo pacman -U visual-studio-code-bin-*` 


    `cd ..` 


    `rm -rf visual-studio-code-bin/` 


    🞄 now you can start Visual Studio Code. 





### Manual-Install (set-up C# and Code-Runner)

    If you need to setup C#(CSharp) and Code-Runner on VSCode here's how: 


    in VSCode go to Extensions

    and install the `C#` and `code runner` extensions 


    now go to `File` ➔ `Preferences` ➔ `Settings` 


    search `run in terminal` and enable `Code-runner: Run In Terminal`

    🞄 if you followed the Auto-Install section you can skip this step with Code-Runner. 


    click on the `open settings` icon top right

    write `code-runner.executorMap` and press enter. 


    the script should automatically update and look like this:

    scroll down to `csharp` and instead of `scripts` write: 


    `cd $dir && sudo dotnet run $fileName` 





![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/90350173/148345367-2cebc037-c32f-41d2-8d3d-fca62c29e104.png) 


    save the file. 





## Set-up a C# project

    open in `File` ➔ `Open Folder...` your chosen work directory 


    then go to `Terminal` ➔ `New Terminal` 


    🞄 to create a C# console application run the next command: 


    `dotnet new console` 


    🞄 then to be able to save your project, run: 


    `sudo chmod +x Program.cs` 





    🞄 hopefully this guide covered everything that you needed, and I hope that everything worked! 


    🞄 now you should be able to run your C# projects with the 'Code-Runner' extension and save properly! 


    🞄 happy coding!
