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.
