Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.

I also will share with you some manual steps I took, to install and try out TypeScript in Visual Studio Code, using the instructions from the TypeScript training. In this article I will describe, as an alternative, installing Ubuntu Desktop with the help of Vagrant, including Visual Studio Code and Node.js. In my previous article, I shared with you the steps I took, to get this working within an Oracle VirtualBox appliance, by manually installing Ubuntu Desktop.

On my Windows laptop, I wanted to create an environment with Ubuntu as guest Operating System, Visual Studio Code and Node.js available within an Oracle VirtualBox appliance. For a TypeScript training, I needed an environment with Visual Studio Code and Node.js (a JavaScript runtime).
