Visual Studio Code on chromebook - dependency issues

[shgrrts]

I follow the steps to install VS code on Chromebook amd64 (https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2020/12/03/chromebook-get-started) and get stuck on double-click on the package to launch the installer.

I see: Install app with Linux Installation successfully started. Details Application: code Version: 1.81.0-1690979901 Description: Code editing. Redefined. Visual Studio Code is a new choice of tool that combines the simplicity of a code editor with what developers need for the core edit-build-debug cycle. See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux for installation instructions and FAQ.

I click OK and see Error installing Linux application

I mean, I understand nothing. I would just like to set up local web dev environment to start coding after codecademy course and web says my Chromebook should install VS Code and all other dependencies.

Pleeease if anyone could advice i would be more than grateful! karo

ok so I removed Linux dev environment and installed it again, adding sudo apt-get -f install and then following the steps from here https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-visual-studio-code-on-debian-10/ on how to install VS Code on Debian10. No idea if thats what i was meant to do, but works.

If i double click on the file from the downloads, the errors are still same as before. I launched VS Code from the command line with 'code'.

If anyone has any idea what just happened feel free to share.

Hi, I fixed my own by following this article step by step
https://www.codecademy.com/article/web-programming-on-chromebook

Reason the error occur because you downloaded wrong vs code version for your Chromebook
