6- Try it out:
5+ - ** Code everywhere:** Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a
6+ consistent dev environment. Develop on a Linux machine and pick up from any
7+ device with a web browser.
8+ - ** Server-powered:** Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more.
9+ Preserve battery life when you're on the go since all intensive tasks runs on your server.
10+ Make use of a spare computer you have lying around and turn it into a full development environment.

38+ We recommend installing from ` npm ` if we don't have a precompiled release for your machine's
39+ platform or architecture.

21- ## Getting Started
41+ ** note:** Installing via ` npm ` builds native modules on install and so requires C dependencies.
42+ See [ ./doc/npm.md] ( ./doc/npm.md ) for installing these dependencies.
2243
23- ### Requirements
44+ You will need at least node v12 installed. See [ # 1633 ] ( https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1633 ) .
2445
25- - 64-bit host.
26- - At least 1GB of RAM.
27- - 2 cores or more are recommended (1 core works but not optimally).
28- - Secure connection over HTTPS or localhost (required for service workers and
29- clipboard support).
30- - For Linux: GLIBC 2.17 or later and GLIBCXX 3.4.15 or later.
46+ ``` bash
47+ npm install -g code-server
48+ code-server
49+ # Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
50+ ```
51+
52+ ### macOS
53+
54+ ``` bash
55+ brew install code-server
56+ brew services start code-server
57+ # Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
58+ ```

32- ### Run over SSH
60+ ### Docker
3361
34- Use [ sshcode] ( https://github.com/codercom/sshcode ) for a simple setup.
62+ ``` bash
63+ # This will start a code-server container and expose it at http://127.0.0.1:8080.
64+ # It will also mount your current directory into the container as `/home/coder/project`
65+ # and forward your UID/GID so that all file system operations occur as your user outside
66+ # the container.
67+ docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
68+ -v " $PWD :/home/coder/project" \
69+ -u " $( id -u) :$( id -g) " \
70+ codercom/code-server:latest
71+ ```

36- ### Digital Ocean
75+ We publish self contained ` .tar.gz ` archives for every release on [ github] ( https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases ) .
76+ They bundle the node binary and compiled native modules.

38- [ ![ Create a Droplet] ( ./doc/assets/droplet.svg )] ( https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/code-server )
78+ 1 . Download the latest release archive for your system from [ github] ( https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases ) .
79+ 2 . Unpack the release.
80+ 3 . You can run code-server by executing ` ./bin/code-server ` .
3981
40- ### Releases
82+ Add the code-server ` bin ` directory to your ` $PATH ` to easily execute ` code-server ` without the full path every time.

42- 1 . [ Download a release] ( https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases ) . (Linux and macOS supported. Windows support planned.)
43- 2 . Unpack the downloaded release then run the included ` code-server ` script.
44- 3 . In your browser navigate to ` localhost:8080 ` .
84+ Here is an example script for installing and using a static ` code-server ` release on Linux:
85+
86+ ``` bash
87+ curl -sSL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/3.3.0/code-server-3.3.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar -C /usr/local -xz
88+ sudo mv /usr/local/code-server-3.3.0-linux-amd64 /usr/local/code-server
89+ PATH=" $PATH :/usr/local/code-server/bin"
90+ code-server
91+ # Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
