“code .” Not working in Command Line for Visual Studio Code on OSX/Mac

Question

The command \"code .\" doesn\'t work in this manual?

All the other steps before that worked. How can I call the Visual Studio Code in OSX terminal?

Answer 1

It might be possible that you have not installed the code in your system. So, please install it first. the command is here -

sudo snap install --classic code

Details are available is here

Answer 2

On my MAC I got it working:

add to .bash_profile

code() {
   open -a Visual\ Studio\ Code.app $1
}

save and in terminal 'source .bash_profile'

Then in terminal code index.html (or whatever) will open that file in VS Code.

Answer 3

For Mac OSX: There is a way to install Visual Studio Code through Brew-Cask.

1. First, install 'Homebrew' from here.

2. Now run following command and it will install latest Visual Studio Code on your Mac.

   $> brew cask install visual-studio-code

Above command should install Visual Studio Code and also set up the command-line calling of Visual Studio Code.

If above steps don't work then you can do it manually. By following Microsoft Visual Studio Code documentation given here.
