#### Windows:

The installation process for Windows is quite simple. Just download the installer for the Windows version you have then run the installer once complete. Follow the instructions then you are ready to go to the next step.

#### Linux:

Installing VS Code for Linux in Ubuntu is also straight forward. Just double click on the downloaded package. An installer will pop up then just click on "Install" then follow those instructions.&#x20;

## Linking VS Code with WSL

To achieve this, you can follow the link below to the PX4 User Guide instructions. They explain how to set up a WSL and after a section called Visual Studio Code Integration. Follow those instructions to link your WSL with Visual Studio Code.
