A checksum shows a file was not changed or corrupted. It does not prove the software is free of malware, so scan downloads before you run them. Read how we list and label downloads in the software download policy.
About VSCodium
VSCodium is built directly from the open-source code of Visual Studio Code, so it looks and works the same: the editor, terminal, debugger and Git integration are all there. The difference is that the builds are released under the MIT licence without Microsoft's branding, licence or telemetry.
Extensions come from the Open VSX registry rather than Microsoft's marketplace. Most popular extensions are available there; a few Microsoft-only extensions are not.
System requirements
See VSCodium's download page for the requirements of the current release.
How to install VSCodium
- Choose a download above. It opens VSCodium Community's own page or file.
- If a checksum is listed, compare it with the file you downloaded before you run it.
- Open the downloaded file (usually .exe or .msi). If Windows asks whether to allow changes, check that the publisher name shown matches the software before you agree.
- Follow the installer. Untick any extra offers you do not want, then start the program from the Start menu.
