How to lanuch Visual Studio code when installed through flatpak?

  • 772

Running flatpak list shows:

Visual Studio Code                        com.visualstudio.code                    1.55.1-1617807524     stable    system

but how is that application launched?

(The search results I've found are on how to install apps, rather than launch or run a specific app.)

command-line

  1. When installed with Flatpak, you can launch VScode in the terminal by running:

    flatpak run com.visualstudio.code

    I recommend creating a permanent alias so that you only have to run code instead. To do this, add this line to the .bashrc file located in your home directory:

    # User specific aliases and functions
alias code="flatpak run com.visualstudio.code"
