1 00:00:04,460 --> 00:00:08,040 ‫So how are we going to go about installing VTS code? 2 00:00:08,060 --> 00:00:11,120 ‫Well, the first step is just to download and run the installer. 3 00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:12,680 ‫This is a pretty straightforward step. 4 00:00:12,710 --> 00:00:15,380 ‫Same on Mac and PC. 5 00:00:15,410 --> 00:00:17,690 ‫We can find the extensions tab. 6 00:00:17,690 --> 00:00:21,380 ‫Once that is done, we can install the following extensions. 7 00:00:21,380 --> 00:00:28,070 ‫They see sleep C++ extension for Microsoft and optionally but recommended Lee the Unreal Engine four 8 00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:30,740 ‫snippets extension by Captain Capps. 9 00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:33,110 ‫So let's see how this works. 10 00:00:33,230 --> 00:00:36,980 ‫Follow the link in the resources to get to Code Dot Visual Studio. 11 00:00:38,210 --> 00:00:43,010 ‫There's a fairly prominent download button there and it should automatically have detected your platform. 12 00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:45,410 ‫If not, there's a dropdown for other platforms. 13 00:00:45,650 --> 00:00:48,950 ‫Click download and wait for the executable. 14 00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:53,960 ‫Here to download you can see it's a fairly small download so it will only take 10 seconds or so depending 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,730 ‫on the speed of your internet of course. 16 00:00:55,820 --> 00:00:58,160 ‫So do go ahead and get that started. 17 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,880 ‫Now I'm going to go ahead and open it because it has downloaded for me so you can pause and follow along 18 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,320 ‫once you've got that download. 19 00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:13,010 ‫So on a mac it's going to be downloading a zip file instead of the executable that we got on Windows. 20 00:01:13,010 --> 00:01:20,120 ‫And when we click to open this executable, it automatically extracts and we end up with a Visual Studio 21 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:28,460 ‫code application here, which you can just go ahead and drag in to your applications folder to install 22 00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:35,600 ‫it and then you can launch it from Spotlight by typing in Visual Studio code and allowing it to open. 23 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:43,190 ‫You may need to allow the opening of things from the web in your system settings, then you click open 24 00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:44,750 ‫and it shouldn't ask you that again. 25 00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:47,060 ‫And that should bring us to a page like this. 26 00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:50,810 ‫Then we're going to go through the installation wizard. 27 00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:58,520 ‫I'm going to accept the agreement, choose the default installation location and the default start menu 28 00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,660 ‫folder name. 29 00:01:59,660 --> 00:02:01,220 ‫You can click through to the next. 30 00:02:01,220 --> 00:02:05,630 ‫I don't want a desktop icon, but there are a couple of other options here that are nice, which allow 31 00:02:05,630 --> 00:02:11,960 ‫me to launch Visual Studio code from Windows Explorer so I can go ahead and check those two options 32 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:12,890 ‫off as well. 33 00:02:13,310 --> 00:02:19,520 ‫I can click next, I can click install and this is a much smaller piece of software than either Xcode 34 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,770 ‫or Visual Studio because it doesn't include a compiler, which is a big heavyweight piece of software. 35 00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:27,350 ‫And you can see it has installed incredibly quickly for me. 36 00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:31,160 ‫I didn't even have to pause the video and maybe you won't have to pause either. 37 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,390 ‫So if you're following along, let's go ahead and launch Visual Studio code. 38 00:02:35,390 --> 00:02:39,110 ‫Now I'll click Finish and it will automatically launch for me. 39 00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:42,680 ‫And if you've never used it before, this is kind of what it's going to look like. 40 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,920 ‫You're going to get this start page and nothing open by default. 41 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:51,590 ‫I've got a few recent projects because I use Visual Studio code on a daily basis, but you may not. 42 00:02:51,590 --> 00:02:54,740 ‫So the next thing we need to do is install some extensions. 43 00:02:54,740 --> 00:02:56,330 ‫There is an extension tab. 44 00:02:56,330 --> 00:03:01,730 ‫Here is the last one in the left hand pane tab bar and you hover over it. 45 00:03:01,730 --> 00:03:02,720 ‫It says extensions. 46 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,040 ‫We can click on that and it will show us the extensions that are currently installed. 47 00:03:07,250 --> 00:03:08,480 ‫This is new software for you. 48 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,800 ‫You won't have any extensions. 49 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:17,150 ‫I already have a few, but the ones I mentioned were the C slash sleep C++ by Microsoft and Unreal Engine. 50 00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:18,980 ‫Four snippets by Captain Caps. 51 00:03:18,980 --> 00:03:25,340 ‫Now you can search for these in the search bar at the top so I can search for C slash C++ and you can 52 00:03:25,340 --> 00:03:27,260 ‫see that it's going to come up with lots of options. 53 00:03:27,260 --> 00:03:30,200 ‫But the first option is the extension by Microsoft. 54 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,390 ‫That's one you want to go ahead and install. 55 00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:38,210 ‫And then the next one is the unreal engine for snippets. 56 00:03:38,210 --> 00:03:41,600 ‫And again, there's quite a few extensions here that help with this. 57 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,030 ‫But the one you're looking for is the one by Captain Capps. 58 00:03:44,030 --> 00:03:48,740 ‫Now, if at the time of recording this one still called Unreal Engine four, even though it works just 59 00:03:48,740 --> 00:03:54,710 ‫fine for Unreal Engine five, if this has been renamed in the future, do try searching for slight variations. 60 00:03:54,710 --> 00:04:00,590 ‫That might be something like Unreal Engine Snippets instead, and you might find it that way, but I'll 61 00:04:00,590 --> 00:04:03,530 ‫try and keep the video updated with any changes. 62 00:04:03,530 --> 00:04:09,380 ‫So once you've got those two extensions installed and Visual Studio code up and running, that's it 63 00:04:09,380 --> 00:04:10,130 ‫for this lecture. 64 00:04:10,130 --> 00:04:16,160 ‫You have successfully got ready to start programming in C++ and I'll see you in the next video.
