# code-server
[](https://github.com/coder/code-server/discussions) [](https://coder.com/community) [](https://twitter.com/coderhq) [](https://codecov.io/gh/coder/code-server) [](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest)
Run [VS Code](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode) on any machine anywhere and
access it in the browser.
## Highlights
- Code on any device with a consistent development environment
- Use cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more
- Preserve battery life when you're on the go; all intensive tasks run on your
server
## Requirements
See [requirements](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest/requirements) for minimum specs, as well as instructions
on how to set up a Google VM on which you can install code-server.
**TL;DR:** Linux machine with WebSockets enabled, 1 GB RAM, and 2 vCPUs
## Getting started
There are four ways to get started:
1. Using the [install
script](https://github.com/coder/code-server/blob/main/install.sh), which
automates most of the process. The script uses the system package manager if
possible.
2. Manually [installing
code-server](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest/install)
3. Deploy code-server to your team with [coder/coder](https://cdr.co/coder-github)
4. Using our one-click buttons and guides to [deploy code-server to a cloud
provider](https://github.com/coder/deploy-code-server) ⚡
If you use the install script, you can preview what occurs during the install
process:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
```
To install, run:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
```
When done, the install script prints out instructions for running and starting
code-server.
