VSCode Installation

Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VSCode) can be downloaded from Download VSCode

VSCode is a open sourced project supported by Mircosoft and the community, it is available on Windows, MacOS, and other Unix base systems. If your are doing any code development with almost any programming language, VSCode likely has an extension to support it.

The Moolah database is an XML based file named, MoolahDB.xml. Having an good ASCII editor like VSCode that understands XML will make your life much simpler. Also if you are wanting to review the Moolah module code, VSCode has an extension for PowerShell.

After installing VSCode, the extensions XML Tools 1.92 and PowerShell 1.5.0 will need to be added. These extension will be needed later when the MoolahDB is being modified.

Click on the Extension icon in VSCode to find and install extensions.
