1.5.3 - VSCode and WPIlib

Installing WPIlib and VScode onto your Personal Computer

Note

WPILib Installation Your workstation must be a have mac os or windows installed. Reference the linked page below for specific architecture required based on your operating system. Linux could work, but may have issues to troubleshoot with simulation. Chromebooks will not work for this. The Computers in Room 124 will have VScode with the WPIlib libraires installed, so you are free to use them and can skip this step - but if you would like to use a personal computer or update WPIlib this step will help you with that.
