VSCode-Couchbase README
Welcome to the official Visual Studio Code extension for Couchbase!
This extension is designed to provide a seamless experience for Couchbase Server users who want to work within the popular Visual Studio Code editor.
Requirements
This extension requires OpenSSL to be installed on your system in order to install successfully.
For Windows:
For Debian or Ubuntu-based distros::
- Run
sudo apt-get install openssl
For Red Hat, CentOS or Fedora-based distros:
- Run
sudo dnf install openssl (on newer Fedora versions), OR sudo yum install openssl (on older Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS versions)
For Mac:
- For an Apple device with an M1 chip, you should install OpenSSL version 3 or higher. On the other hand, if your Mac has an Intel (x64) chip, then you should install OpenSSL version 1.1.
- Run
brew install openssl using Homebrew if your Mac has M1 chip and use brew install openssl@1.1 if your Mac has an Intel (x64), or download the latest version of OpenSSL from https://www.openssl.org/source/ and follow the installation instructions.
In case you encounter any issues during the installation process, we have provided detailed Troubleshooting Guidelines to help you resolve the issues.
To install Couchbase Server, please follow the steps mentioned in this guide.
:warning: WARNING: DO NOT upgrade cmake-js to 7.x or it will break Windows builds. Please use 6.x instead.
