RHEL, Fedora, and CentOS-based distributions

Stable versions of 64-bit Visual Studio Code are shipped through a yum repository for RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora distributions. Once you run the following script, it will install the key and repository:

sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[code]\nname=Visual Studio Code\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/vscode\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" > /etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo'

Then run the following commands to update the package cache and install the package using dnf (Fedora 22 and above):

dnf check-update
sudo dnf install code

Or, if you are on an older version of Fedora, use yum:

yum check-update
sudo yum install code
