VSCodium is a free, open-source version of Microsoft's Visual Studio Code text editor. Unlike Visual Studio Code, VSCodium doesn't include Microsoft telemetry and other proprietary features.
Here's how to install VSCodium on macOS using the command-line interface:
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Open your terminal application.
Enter the following command to install VSCodium via Homebrew:
brew install --cask vscodium
This command will download and install VSCodium from the official vscodium repository in GitHub.
Wait for the installation to complete.
To verify that VSCodium installed correctly, follow these steps:
Start VSCodium by searching for it in Launchpad or by entering the command codium in your terminal application.
Once VSCodium starts, check the version number by clicking on the VSCodium menu and selecting About VSCodium.
The version number should match the latest version available on GitHub.
Congratulations, you've successfully installed VSCodium on your Mac!
