| | # Requirements for Visual Studio Code |
| |
|
| | ## Hardware |
| |
|
| | Visual Studio Code is a small download (< 100 MB) and has a disk footprint of 200 MB. VS Code is lightweight and should easily run on today's hardware. |
| |
|
| | We recommend: |
| |
|
| | * 1.6 GHz or faster processor |
| | * 1 GB of RAM |
| |
|
| | ## Platforms |
| |
|
| | VS Code has been tested on the following platforms: |
| |
|
| | * OS X Yosemite |
| | * Windows 7 (with .NET Framework 4.5.2), 8.0, 8.1 and 10 (32-bit and 64-bit) |
| | * Linux (Debian): Ubuntu Desktop 14.04, Debian 7 |
| | * Linux (Red Hat): Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, CentOS 7, Fedora 23 |
| |
|
| | ### Additional Windows requirements |
| |
|
| | .NET Framework 4.5.2 is required for VS Code. If you are using Windows 7, please make sure [.NET Framework 4.5.2](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=42643) is installed. |
| |
|
| | ### Additional Linux requirements |
| |
|
| | * GLIBCXX version 3.4.15 or later |
| | * GLIBC version 2.15 or later |
