Install instructions for VSCode on Windows

At present, we do not offer a ride-cli package that directly runs on Windows. To use the language server which is built into the ride-cli executable you can leverage the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

  1. Start with installing WSL and the ride-cli package by following the ride-cli documentation provided in the Franka World Hub.
  2. Install the Microsoft WSL extension
  3. Connect to WSL: Press F1 to open the command palette and enter Connect to WSL
  4. Install the RIDE plugin in the WSL environment.
  5. Open your state machines / bundles in the WSL file system. Now you're ready to use the full features of this plugin on Windows.

Further information about developing in WSL can be found here.
