-===== Using VSCode Remotely on Stu for C (Windows) ===== 
  
-VSCode has extensions for C/C++ Intellisense; however, it will not work unless set up as described below. 
- 
-==== Prerequisites ==== 
-  - Do //**not**// use the Remote SSH Extension for VSCode to access stu as this creates extra processes on stu.                 
-  - Install [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10|WSL Version 2]] with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. 
-  - (Optional) Install the new [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/get-started| Windows Terminal]] 
- 
-==== In WSL ====   
-  - Start Ubuntu from its CLI or the Windows Terminal, username and password can be anything 
-  - Run sudo add-apt-repository universe (may already be enabled) 
-  - Run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade 
-  - Run sudo apt install gcc 
-  - Mount your stu directory remotely **//from within WSL//** according to [[student:utilities:sshfs|the instructions for Linux found here]]. 
-   
-==== In VSCode ==== 
-  - Start VS Code. 
-  - Press F1, select Remote-WSL: New Window for the default distro, or Remote-WSL: New Window using Distro for a specific distro (if you have multiple installed). There will be a first-time setup process. \\ {{:student:vscode:remote-wsl.png?nolink&400|}}  
-  - You should see this something similar to this in the bottom left corner. \\ {{:student:vscode:wsl_indicator.png?nolink&400|}} 
-  - Use the File menu to open your remotely mounted stu dir or project folder at ~/home/your-eid/mnt/stu. 
-  - Install the [[https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack|Remote Development Extension Pack]]. 
-   
-  ==== While Working === 
-    * You will need to install any external libraries in WSL (ex: OpenSSL for CS457)  
-    * SSH from your WSL terminal into stu to compile and run code to ensure compatibility.  
-    * Avoid compiling and running from your local WSL.
