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:

  1. Check if npm is installed — if not, shows an error with a link to download Node.js
  2. Check if Docker is installed — if not, shows an error with a link to download Docker Desktop
  3. If both are present, checks for the Rayfin CLI and installs it automatically
