Devcontainer Setup Agent

Prerequisites

Node.js, Docker

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• npm install -g @devcontainers/cli
• git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-try-rust
• yarn
• yarn compile

• To install the npm package you will need Python and C/C++ installed to build one of the dependencies (see, e.g., here for instructions).
• [165 ms] Start: Run: docker build -f /home/node/vscode-remote-try-rust/.devcontainer/Dockerfile -t vsc-vscode-remote-try-rust-89420ad7399ba74f55921e49cc3ecfd2 --build-arg VARIANT=bullseye /home/node/vscode-remote-try-...
