2 Installation

vscode-texinfo cannot be run standalone. It can only be used as an extension of Visual Studio Code.

It is recommended to use a free distribution of Visual Studio Code, VSCodium, instead of the official binary release, which is proprietary software. You can also build it from source yourself.

Note: Theoretically vscode-texinfo can work with any version of Visual Studio Code since 1.82, but not all versions are tested. It’s recommended to install a latest release.

The easiest way to install vscode-texinfo is from the extension marketplace. Click the “Extensions” tab on Visual Studio Code’s sidebar, type “texinfo” and you can find and install this extension (Extension ID: CismonX.texinfo).
