Build

You can build a full production release as follows:

git submodule update --init
quilt push -a
npm install
npm run build
VERSION=0.0.0 npm run build:vscode
KEEP_MODULES=1 npm run release

You can omit KEEP_MODULES if you intend to use this in a platform-agnostic way (like for publishing to NPM), but since the VS Code build process does post-processing deletion of the modules, it is recommended to keep the modules when possible, since if you install them later you will have more than is required. KEEP_MODULES will also bundle Node and the code-server entry script.

Run your build:

./release/bin/code-server

Or if you omitted KEEP_MODULES:

cd release
npm install --omit=dev
node .

Then, to package the release:

npm run package

On Linux, the currently running distro will become the minimum supported version. In our GitHub Actions CI, we use CentOS 8 for maximum compatibility. If you need your builds to support older distros, run the build commands inside a Docker container with all the build requirements installed.
