If using a 64-bit Linux installation it is necessary to install 32-bit library support to allow the compilers to be executed. Note that the PICAXE compilers are 32-bit executables.

code*.tar.gz - The Visual Studio Code application.It is the intention to submit it to the official extension store in the future to make installation simpler.Īfter downloading the prerequisites given on the Downloads tab above you should have three files. Note that the PICAXE extension is currently in beta testing and so not yet formally published in the VS Code extensions store, so must be manually installed at present. It also allows use of GIT source control. It includes full PICAXE compiler integration and includes syntax highlighting for PICAXE BASIC files. Note that VS Code is a more 'technical', but very powerful, editor for more experienced users. It works well on Mac and Linux as well as on Windows (although on Windows we recommend PE6 instead). Visual Studio Code (not to be confused with Visual Studio) is a free, open source editor ideal for experienced users who just want a 'text editor' to use with the command line PICAXE compilers.
