Would you have any idea on how to run VSCode on Centos6? Did you ever try to compile VSCode without and Internet Connection?Ĭurrently the only viable solution I see would be to create an AppImage at home.I am trying to install vs code on CernVm but it shows the following errors: Setting up Install Process

There are standalone solutions to run software on old distribution, like AppImage but VSCode is not part of their apps. I created a local yarn repository, compiled all appropriate version of Yarn, NodeJS but a compiled binary is trying to download electron and I have no idea where to put the file to trick him into thinking it's downloaded already (assuming I could).

I tried compiling it myself but it requires to download many files and my virtual machine does not have Internet, I can only transfer files through ftp. I used the compiled version of VSCode from the official website. I tried compiling a new glibc and load it as well but it segfault, as expected. It also needed some more dependencies I managed to recompile and load with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I would like to use Visual Studio Code as a C++ IDE but its intellisense plugin is running with glibc >=2.14 and Centos6 comes with glibc 2.12.

This is totally out of my control and it obviously makes using up to date software a nightmare. My company is using an old CentOS6 and they wont update it before months (years?).
