How to Set up VSCodium
·1 min
Table of Contents
VSCodium is the free, open sourced, non-Microsoft-tracking-enabled version of VSCode. I have started using it instead of VSCode for work on this site, along with a few key extensions. In this post, I am documenting how I have set it up.
Install #
You can download the latest release directly on Github here and install regularly, or you can use the Homebrew command: brew install --cask vscodium
Extensions #
Access to the VSCode Extension Marketplace is not included with VSCodium by default, but we can add access via creating a product.json file in ~/Library/Application\ Support/VSCodium:
cat << EOF > ~/Library/Application\ Support/VSCodium/product.json
{
"extensionsGallery": {
"serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery",
"itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items",
"cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index",
"controlUrl": "",
"recommendationsUrl": ""
}
}
EOF
