- Docker, which you can install following instructions below.
Docker is a tool used to build, deploy, test, and otherwise work with software in an isolated environment, called a container. This diffs from a VM in that it shares the same linux kernal as your host operating system, making it faster to spin up and share host resources. By building or deploying software in this isolated environment, you can ensure many users, robots, or servers are running the same software with the same software versions across many instances. It gives you a controlled environment to work in that is reproducable on other developer’s machines and even work in a different (linux-based) operating system than your computer currently runs [cit.]
From this page online follow instructions on how to install Docker Desktop for Windows.
From this page online you can get a minimal installation of Docker (Engine) on Ubuntu.
Once all installations are complete, download this git repository as zip file, or simply clone to your preferred location on your machine.
Open the folder with VSCode and, when promped, accept "Reopen in container" prompt.
If you missed the prompt, you can always hit F1 inside VSCode and start typing "reopen container" and then hit enter.
The editor will take some time to download and install all required steps to run the docker container.
Once completed, a new window of VSCode will automatically open and you can start the actual exercises!
