Rayfin Hello World
A sample VS Code extension that automatically opens a terminal and greets you on startup.
Features
- 🔍 Checks for prerequisites — verifies npm and Docker are installed on startup
- 📦 Auto-installs Rayfin CLI — runs
npm create @microsoft/rayfin@latest if not found
- ❌ Helpful error messages — if npm or Docker are missing, shows download links
- 🎉 Command Palette — run "Rayfin: Hello World" anytime to see a notification
Getting Started
After installing, reload VS Code (Ctrl+Shift+P → Reload Window). The extension will:
- Check if npm is installed — if not, shows an error with a link to download Node.js
- Check if Docker is installed — if not, shows an error with a link to download Docker Desktop
- If both are present, checks for the Rayfin CLI and installs it automatically
