Is VS Code supported on 13.2 release?

Hello. I am new to non windows OS. I want to learn and use FreeBSD. I searched this forum thread for VS Code and I think there were problems with it in past.
Does it work now? Should I install it with "pkg install vscode" like https://www.freshports.org/editors/vscode/ says?
What should be my PC specs? Do I need to install anything before installing VS Code?
 
Hello. You can search vscode from pkg with search option.
Code: 
pkg search vscode
If it's there, you can install it with pkg install vscode. If not, you can compile it from the ports.
Code: 
cd /usr/ports/editors/vscode
I can't check it if it exist as binary because i'm not using 13.2.
 
Welcome to FreeBSD.

Re: <https://www.freshports.org/editors/vscode/#packages> for FreeBSD:13:amd64 you'll see that the version for quarterly is slightly inferior to the version for latest.

Scroll back up, to the head of the page. The first of the two bug icons presents a list of reported bugs for the port of Code - OSS.

In simple terms:
  • there's nothing to suggest that you'll encounter a problem with currently provided packages.

Further information​

The page below might help to put quarterly in context:


If I'm throwing you in at the deep end, with technobabble: apologies.

You might have read of the period during which FreeBSD-provided packages were not readily available.

HTH, enjoy the ride.
