# VSCode-Language-FHiCL
FHiCL language support for Visual Studio Code
## Background
I'm working on the NOvA experiment at Fermilab, During my MS years at UMD, I have used Atom as my editor on ubuntu instance. After some time I started to hate atom performance and it being electron-based software did not help with that. So I decided to move to VScode for the main development environment that I have a complex integration with my machine on Fermilab. I work regularly on developing code on ART software using C++ and *FHiCL* language which developed as a common language for configuring scientific applications inside many HEP experiments. My friend [Justin vessel](https://github.com/justinvasel) developed a syntax package for this language for [Atom](https://github.com/justinvasel/atom-language-fhicl) but with my move to VScode, I wanted something similar. Thanks to Justin for his initiative and continuous support.
## Installation
It is available on [VSCode marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=muhammadelashri.FHiCL) and you install manually by downloading extension from [release section](https://github.com/MohamedElashri/VSCode-Language-Fhicl/releases) and add the folder to VS Code extensions folder.
Better way is to open the terminal and run that (assuming you have git installed)
### MAC OS
```
git clone https://github.com/MohamedElashri/VSCode-Language-Fhicl $HOME/.vscode/extensions/VSCode-Language-Fhicl
```
### Linux
```
git clone https://github.com/MohamedElashri/VSCode-Language-Fhicl $HOME/.vscode/extensions/VSCode-Language-Fhicl
```
### Windows
```
git clone https://github.com/MohamedElashri/VSCode-Language-Fhicl %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\VSCode-Language-Fhicl
```
*I doubt if anyone is using windows in our community for development anymore*
