Post 35: VisualStudio is now open source

You've heard it correctly. Microsoft's VisualStudio is now open source. You can check out the code on their gitHub account:

https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode

If you want to run it on Linux, make sure you have these installed:

• NodeJS > v0.12
• Python > v2.7
• make
• A proper C/C++ compiler tool chain, for example GCC

Open your terminal and build VS with these commands.

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode
cd vscode && npm install -g mocha gulp
./scripts/npm.sh install --arch=x64
# for 32bit Linux
#./scripts/npm.sh install --arch=ia32

In order to run it type in this code:

./scripts/code.sh
