VS Code and Ionide work really well together. There are some slight issues like the loss of syntax highlighting in certain cases, but that is a really small issue. I am using this combination on a GalliumOS chromebook and it works out of the box in like 10 or 15 minutes: - install VSCode and then Ionide - install .net core - install mono (i believe ionide still uses mono) - install node and npm and then yeoman - install the aspnet generator for yo - "yo aspnet" will give the option to generate a working ASP.NET F# website

> VS Code and Ionide work really well together Not in my experience. Never since it appear the setup have worked for me, not even once. I try again last week. I need to copy-paste the .sh script from github because the one it generate was wrong. P.D: I don' use yeoman. NPM bloat is not my style: I follow the MS tutorial: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/fsharp/tutorials/getting-started/getting-started-vscode https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/fsharp/tuto...

  The tutorial you linked is for developing against mono using Paket and FAKE. I also found it difficult to work with F# and mono. My recent and positive experience was with developing against .net core. Also, you don't need to use yeoman, "dotnet new --lang F#" produces a blank F# .net core project and then you can add all of the dependencies manually.

  Awkward person in the video AND author of that tutorial here... I'd love to learn more about what went wrong in setup. Keeping that article up to date and, more importantly, correct is a priority of mine, because I really want people to learn about Ionide and F#.

    I just follow the tutorial on OSX. Then I try to do the first build and get: > build.sh: line 34: syntax error: unexpected end of file So I delete the last empty line, and get: > build.sh: line 33: syntax error near unexpected token `fi' I don't see any wrong with the script (I don't know bash scripting). So I go to the github site and just copy from https://github.com/ionide/ionide-vscode-fake/blob/master/build.sh https://github.com/ionide/ionide-vscode-fake/blob/master/bui... And it work.

      It's probably line ending problem. Running something like dos2unix on `build.sh` would probably fix it.
