Coder is a powerful and easy-to-use development tool that allows developers to use VS Code in the browser. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Coder on MXLinux Latest. Follow the below steps:
Open the terminal and execute the below command to install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install curl gnupg apt-transport-https
Now, you need to add the Coder repository to install the application. Use the below command to import the repository’s GPG key:
curl -sS https://coder.com/.netlify/functions/key | sudo apt-key add -
Next, add the repository to your system:
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://codeserver.dev/deb stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/coder.list
After adding the repository, update the system’s package list using the below command:
sudo apt update
Finally, install Coder on your system:
sudo apt install coder
You can launch the application from the terminal by running the below command:
coder
Alternatively, you can also use the Search bar from the application launcher to find and launch the Coder application.
By default, Coder runs on port 8080. To access the Coder web interface, open a web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://localhost:8080
If you want to access the Coder web interface from other devices, replace localhost with your system’s IP address.
With these simple steps, you now have Coder installed and running on your MXLinux Latest machine. You can enjoy the power of VS Code in the browser and continue with your development work with ease. Happy coding!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
