Some platforms, such as Linux or macOS, have a C++ compiler already installed. Check with your instructors or colleagues for guidance on installing the recommended C++ toolset (compiler, debugger, project system, linter). There may already be a C++ compiler and debugger provided by your academic or work development environment. You will need to install these tools or use those already installed on your computer. The C/C++ extension does not include a C++ compiler or debugger. VS Code is first and foremost an editor, and relies on command-line tools to do much of the development workflow.
Select the Extensions view icon on the Activity bar or use the keyboard shortcut ( ⇧⌘X (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+X)).Īfter you install the extension, when you open or create a *.cpp file, you will have syntax highlighting (colorization), smart completions and hovers (IntelliSense), and error checking.Ĭ++ is a compiled language meaning your program's source code must be translated (compiled) before it can be run on your computer. 
Configure IntelliSense for cross-compilingĬ/C++ support for Visual Studio Code is provided by a Microsoft C/C++ extension to enable cross-platform C and C++ development on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Video Transcript: In this video, I am going to show you how you can take your existing C++ code from other development environments such as Visual Studio, and use it in projects and applications that run natively on both Windows and Mac through the FireMonkey Application Framework. Drag Visual Studio Code.app to the Applications folder, making it available in the Launchpad. Double-click on the downloaded archive to expand the contents.
