 How to export path for vscode for your Mac OS

 

You need to first find the location of your installed VScode or install it. In case you have vs code installed on your machine, you can use this command : mdfind "kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier == 'com.microsoft.VSCode'"

 

 

Or to install vscode on your macOS using the terminal :

 

Install Homebrew (if not already installed):

If you don't have Homebrew installed on your macOS, you can install it by running the following command in your Terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

 

 

Update Homebrew (optional):

It's a good practice to update Homebrew to the latest version before installing any packages. You can do this by running:

brew update

 

 

Install Visual Studio Code:

Now, you can use Homebrew to install Visual Studio Code with the following command:

brew install --cask visual-studio-code

 

 

Now Open your .zshrc file in a text editor. You can do this using the nano text editor or any other text editor you prefer:

nano ~/.zshrc

 

 

Find the line where you set your PATH. It may look something like this:

export PATH="$PATH:/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin"

 

 

Update the line to include the path to your Visual Studio Code installation:

export PATH="$PATH:/Users/rwmotivation/Downloads/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin"

 

Save the changes and exit the text editor. In nano, you can press Ctrl + O to save and Ctrl + X to exit.

 

After saving the changes, apply the updated .zshrc file by running the following command:

source ~/.zshrc

 

Now, the "code" command should work, and you should be able to launch Visual Studio Code by running code . from your terminal.

Please ensure that the path you've specified matches the actual location of the Visual Studio Code application on your system.
