Remote VSCode extension not installing on Ubuntu 18.04


I am trying to download the remote development extension in vs-code released by Microsoft on a Ubuntu 18.04 Machine.

However the install fails and the following message appears:

Unable to install because, the extension 'ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack' compatible with current version '1.34.0' of VS Code is not found.

What could be done about this?


Solution

  • At the moment, this extension is in Preview mode. According to VSCode Extension Page, you need to have Visual Studio Code Insiders in order to use this extension.
