Prerequisites
The following tools are expected to be installed and set up on your system:
- Install and set up Visual Studio Code on your machine.
- Install and configure language support. The Cloud Code extension works best with these four languages:
Additional dependencies
Ensure the following are installed and added to the PATH environment variable
of your machine:
- Docker client;
authenticated with your Docker registry
- If you're using Windows Home, refer to this guide on how to set up your Docker client.
- If you're using WSL but cannot install Docker for Desktop, use minikube instead for local development with Cloud Code.
If you're using Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you'll also need to:
Cloud Code can install some command-line dependencies for you automatically,
and will prompt for your permission to install them, if they're not already
installed. If you would prefer to use custom versions of these dependencies,
you may opt out of dependency management by setting 'Auto Dependencies' (cloudcode.auto-install) to
false in Settings (accessible through the Manage menu
> Settings).
Then, install the following on your PATH:
Installation steps
Install the plugin directly from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
Alternatively, select the 'Extensions' view
in VS Code by clicking on its square icon from the left side taskbar. Search
for the 'Cloud Code' plugin and click 'Install'.Once the extension has successfully installed, the Cloud Code icons will be added to the left side activity bar and ready for use.
