How to Run Code in Visual Studio Code Using PowerShell

When it comes to running code in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), you may have encountered issues with using PowerShell commands. In this article, we'll explore the steps required to successfully run your code using PowerShell.

Before we dive into the process, it's essential to note that you need to download Chocolatey Package and put it on an internal repository. This will enable you to manage multiple repositories from one server installation. According to Chocolatey Software, Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or ProGet are excellent options for setting up your internal/private cloud repository.

To ensure a successful setup, you'll need the following requirements:

1. Internal/Private Cloud Repository Set Up: You can set up your own packages and cache or internalize existing community packages with any edition of Chocolatey.

2. Distribution Rights: Keep in mind that distribution rights do not apply for internal use. If you're an organization using Chocolatey, we want to ensure a fully reliable experience.

To run code in VS Code using PowerShell, follow these steps:

1. Open your project folder in VS Code and create a new file with the desired name (e.g., 'script.ps1').

2. Write your PowerShell script within the file, making sure to use the correct syntax.

3. Save the file and open the Command Palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows or Command+Shift+P on Mac.

4. Type 'PowerShell: Run File in Terminal' and select it from the list of suggestions.

5. In the terminal window that appears, navigate to your project folder using the cd command (e.g., 'cd C:\Users\username\Documents\MyProject').

6. Once you're in the correct directory, run your PowerShell script by typing its name followed by the dot operator (e.g., '.\script.ps1').

That's it! You should now be able to successfully run your code using PowerShell within VS Code.

Remember that the packages offered on this site are subject to distribution rights, which means they may need to reach out further to the internet to download files at runtime. However, for internal use, distribution rights do not apply.

By following these steps and ensuring a proper setup of your internal/private cloud repository, you'll be able to run your code in VS Code using PowerShell with ease.
