VS Code works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Here are the instructions:
- Visit https://code.visualstudio.com.
- Download and install for your specific OS
- Unzip the downloaded file
- Drag the .app file into the Applications folder and drag it to Mac's Dock
- Open Microsoft Visual Studio Code
- Press Ctrl + Shift + p to open the command palette
- Type the shell command in the command palette
- Click on the shell command: Install code command in PATH command to install the script to add Visual Studio Code in your terminal $PATH
- Restart Visual Studio Code for this to take effect
Later on, you can just write code (including the dot) directly from the Ionic project folder and VS Code will automatically open that folder as a project.
