UNIX's (arguably) most popular and easy to use shell, now ported and ready to use in MacOSX.1. Recommended for shell newbies and vets alike, this is the UNIX shell of choice. Change the default shell in Terminal on Mac. You can change the default shell that new Terminal windows and tabs open with. Open Terminal for me. In the Terminal app on your Mac, choose Terminal Preferences, then click General.

ConEmu by Open Source for Windows is an open-source application that will emulate a console. Tera Term for Mac. Teranishi is a terminal emulator capable of connecting to Linux boxes through TCP. TeraTerm for Mac. OS X puts more than a thousand Unix commands at your fingertips—for finding and managing files, remotely accessing your Mac from other computers, and using freely downloadable open source applications. If you’re an experienced Mac user, this updated edition teaches you all the basic commands you need to get started with Unix. It depends on what you feel comfortable with and what your needs are but I personally use bash, which is an enhanced version of the Bourne shell(sh), so far have had no problems. However, the z-shell is considered to be the most user friendly.

  1. Download Visual Studio Code for macOS.
  2. Open the browser's download list and locate the downloaded archive.

Launching from the command line

You can also run VS Code from the terminal by typing 'code' after adding it to the path:

Shell Scripting For Mac Os

  • Launch VS Code.
  • Open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+P)) and type 'shell command' to find the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.
  • Restart the terminal for the new $PATH value to take effect. You'll be able to type 'code .' in any folder to start editing files in that folder.

Note: If you still have the old code alias in your .bash_profile (or equivalent) from an early VS Code version, remove it and replace it by executing the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.

To manually add VS Code to your path, you can run the following commands:

Start a new terminal to pick up your .bash_profile changes.

Note: The leading slash is required to prevent $PATH from expanding during the concatenation. Remove the leading slash if you want to run the export command directly in a terminal.

Note: Since zsh became the default shell in macOS Catalina, run the following commands to add VS Code to your path:

Out of the box VS Code adds actions to navigate in editor history as well as the full Debug tool bar to control the debugger on your Touch Bar:

Mojave privacy protections

After upgrading to macOS Mojave version, you may see dialogs saying 'Visual Studio Code would like to access your {calendar/contacts/photos}.' This is due to the new privacy protections in Mojave and is not specific to VS Code. The same dialogs may be displayed when running other applications as well. The dialog is shown once for each type of personal data and it is fine to choose Don't Allow since VS Code does not need access to those folders. You can read a more detailed explanation in this blog post.

Updates

VS Code ships monthly releases and supports auto-update when a new release is available. If you're prompted by VS Code, accept the newest update and it will get installed (you won't need to do anything else to get the latest bits).

Note: You can disable auto-update if you prefer to update VS Code on your own schedule.

Preferences menu

You can configure VS Code through settings, color themes, and custom keybindings and you will often see mention of the File > Preferences menu group. On a macOS, the Preferences menu group is under Code, not File.

Common questions

Why do I see 'Visual Studio Code would like access to your calendar.'

If you are running macOS Mojave version, you may see dialogs saying 'Visual Studio Code would like to access your {calendar/contacts/photos}.' This is due to the new privacy protections in Mojave discussed above. It is fine to choose Don't Allow since VS Code does not need access to those folders.

VS Code fails to update

If VS Code doesn't update once it restarts, it might be set under quarantine by macOS. Follow the steps in this issue for resolution.
