DevPurple - Ultimate VSCodium Pack

ULTIMATE VSCODIUM PACK

A professional code editor with telemetry switched off, in every package the VSCodium project builds for Windows, macOS and Linux, with the full documentation on the media.

VSCodium is the editor that developers already know. The VSCodium project compiles Microsoft's open source vscode code itself and publishes the result with Microsoft's branding removed, telemetry switched off and open-vsx.org as the extension registry. The editing, the debugging, the source control panel, the integrated terminal and the extension system are all there, in the state the source repository ships them.

What You Can Do With It

  • Edit code in more than a hundred languages, with syntax coloring, bracket matching, code folding and search inside a file.
  • Complete code as you type, with the type of the thing you are calling and its documentation shown beside the cursor.
  • Run and debug a program from inside the editor, with breakpoints, a call stack and a view of every variable in scope.
  • See and commit your changes from the source control panel, with the diff of each file in the same window.
  • Open a terminal beside the code, already in the folder you are working in, and run your build from there.
  • Split the window as far as you like, and keep a second copy of one file in step as you type.
  • Add extensions from open-vsx.org for languages, themes, linters, formatters and tools that are not built in.
  • Work on a remote machine, a container or a Windows Subsystem for Linux environment as though the files were local.
  • Search a folder or a whole workspace with a regular expression mode and a file type filter.
  • Save a workspace, so a set of folders and settings comes back in one step the next time you open it.

Windows, Mac, And Linux In One Pack

  • Windows, 64-bit: Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012 R2 and newer, as a system installer that installs for every user, a per-user installer that needs no administrator, and an MSI package.
  • Windows on an Arm processor, as the same two installers built for Arm64.
  • Windows, nothing installed: portable trees for both processors, opened from their folder.
  • 32-bit Windows: the last build the VSCodium project published for a 32-bit system, as an installer and a portable tree.
  • Mac with Apple Silicon: the native build for the M series, as a disk image needing macOS 15 Sequoia or newer.
  • Mac with an Intel processor: the native Intel disk image, needing macOS 15 Sequoia or newer.
  • Linux, 64-bit: a deb package for Debian and Ubuntu, an rpm for Fedora, Red Hat, Rocky, AlmaLinux and openSUSE, an AppImage that runs on any distribution, and a portable tarball.
  • Linux on Arm: an Arm64 deb package and an aarch64 AppImage, for a Raspberry Pi or an Arm server.
  • The source archive, for anyone who wants to build it.

The Documentation Is On The Media

The VSCodium project publishes its documentation as pages in its own repository. All of them are here, converted to HTML, so they open in any browser with no connection.

  • Getting started, which covers the first start, the settings file and where the editor keeps your work.
  • Telemetry and privacy, the page that records every setting involved and what it does.
  • Extensions, the longest page, on open-vsx.org, on installing a package by hand and on the extensions whose licenses keep them off this build.
  • Migrating from Visual Studio Code, for the settings, the shortcuts and the extensions you already have.
  • Troubleshooting, for the first run, the display and the command line.
  • Fourteen pages in total, plus the VSCodium project's own README and its MIT license.

System Requirements

  • Operating system: Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012 R2 and newer for the current release, 32-bit Windows for the older build; macOS 15 Sequoia or newer for both disk images; a 64-bit Linux distribution for the deb, rpm and AppImage packages.
  • Processor: a 64-bit processor for the current release. The Arm64 packages are for an Arm machine, and the 32-bit installer is for a 32-bit system.
  • Disk space: about 650 MB installed from the portable tree, and a little more from an installer.
  • Administrator rights: needed by the system installers and by the MSI. The per-user installers and the portable trees need none.
  • No internet connection needed for the editor or for the documentation. A connection is needed only to install extensions from open-vsx.org.

The operating system figures are the ones the VSCodium project publishes for each package, and the macOS figure is the higher of the two the disk images declare.

Why Buy From Dev Purple?

Every Package For Every System

Five Windows packages, three portable trees, both Mac disk images, six Linux packages and the source, all on one purchase.

The 32-Bit Windows Build Is Here

The last release the VSCodium project published for 32-bit Windows travels as an installer and as a portable tree.

The Documentation Travels With It

Fourteen pages, the README and the MIT license, as HTML that opens from the media with no connection.

Official Releases

Every installer, disk image, package and archive here is the release the VSCodium project itself publishes, taken from its own release page.

No Subscription

VSCodium is released under the MIT license, with no product key, no account and no expiry, and the source archive comes with it.

A Setup Note For Every System

The Read Me names every file, says which machine it serves, and covers the first run on each system.

eBay Compliance

This listing complies with eBay's software policy. This is a lawful compilation of redistributable software. No paid, commercial, or copyrighted software is included. Every package fits one of these categories:

  • MIT licensed: VSCodium is released under the MIT license, and that license explicitly grants anyone the right to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute and sell the software, provided the copyright notice and the permission notice are preserved. The VSCodium project publishes its own documentation under the same repository, and the source archive for the release on the media is included with it.
  • Official releases, unmodified: Every file on the media is the release as published by the VSCodium project, unchanged. Nothing has been patched, cracked, or rebuilt.

The VSCodium name is used here to refer to VSCodium itself. This pack is an independent compilation and is not endorsed by or affiliated with the VSCodium project. The software box shown in any product images is a display image only and is not included. You receive the media only.

eBay's Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program targets listings that infringe intellectual property. This listing does not fall into that category because the MIT license already authorizes the copying and redistribution being done here. Buyers receive only the rights the original license grants.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this item delivered?

This is a physical item (USB drive or DVD) that will be shipped to you. Choose your format when you order.

Which package should I install?

On a 64-bit Windows computer, run VSCodiumSetup-x64 if you want the editor for every user of the machine, or VSCodiumUserSetup-x64 if you want it for your own account with no administrator. On Windows on an Arm processor, use the Arm64 pair. On a managed network, deploy VSCodium-x64.msi.

Does this work on a Mac?

Yes, and both processor types are covered. Open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac: a Mac with a Chip line reading Apple M with a number takes VSCodium.arm64.dmg, and a Mac with a Processor line reading Intel takes VSCodium.x64.dmg. Both are the current release, and both need macOS 15 Sequoia or newer.

What is VSCodium, and how does it differ from Visual Studio Code?

VSCodium is the open source vscode code compiled and published by the VSCodium project. Microsoft's own Visual Studio Code build carries Microsoft's license, branding, telemetry and extension gallery. The VSCodium project's build carries none of those, is licensed under the MIT license, and uses open-vsx.org as its extension registry.

Will my extensions install?

Most do, from open-vsx.org. A number of extensions carry licenses that restrict them to the official Visual Studio Code builds, and those are declined by the registry. The Extensions pages in the documentation on the media list what has been found so far and describe the workarounds.

Can I bring my settings across from Visual Studio Code?

Yes. The migration page in the documentation walks through copying the settings file, the key bindings and the extension list. The settings format is the same.

Does it need a product key or activation?

No. VSCodium is released under the MIT license, so there is no product key, no activation step, no registration and no account.

Is it portable?

There is a portable route for Windows on the media. Unpack the tree to a folder, open it and run VSCodium.exe, and the editor keeps its settings in a data folder inside that tree. There is also a portable tarball for Linux, which unpacks and runs with nothing installed.

Where does the editor keep my work?

Your files stay where you put them. The editor's own settings and its extension folder live in the user profile on Windows and macOS, or in the configuration folder on Linux, and the portable trees keep both inside their own folder. The documentation on the media names each path.

Do I need to copy the pack to my computer first?

For DVD orders, copy the pack folder to your computer (for example, your Desktop) first, then run the installer from there. DVDs have much slower read speeds than USB drives, and an install run directly from the disc will be slow.
