Greetings! Welcome to webcrop. I am Nasyx Rakeeb and i am a professional web developer. If you don't have a laptop or PC for learning programming or web development then in this article i will show you how you can install latest and official version of VS Code on your android smartphone without rooting for web development coding or any other programming language.
At first VS Code wasn't available for ARM64 devices but later Microsoft introduced ARM64 version of VS Code. So in order to install official version of VS Code in your android smartphone we first need to install a linux distro in our smartphone. In this case we are going to install Kali Linux latest version, and then we will install VS Code in Kali Linux.

So without wasting the time let's get started.
Steps To Install Latest and Official VS Code in Android
1) Go to the Playstore in your smartphone and search for an application namely Andronix - Linux on Android and download it or you can click here to install it. With this app we will install kali linux distro in our android phone.
2) Install another app from playstore namely Termux or click here to install it. If you didn't find Termux app on playstore please goto Fdroid and install it from there.

14) Now you will see Kali Linux desktop screen. Now we need to install VS Code in it. Go to browser in ksli linux and type vscode in search bar and goto official website of vscode or click here.
15) Click on .deb button and it will start downloading vscode package.
16) Now goto home screen of kali linux and open terminal and goto download folder and enter this command:
• sudo apt install ./package-name
Note: replace package-name with the file name you downloaded
Now the VS Code is successfully installed. Goto home screen of kali linux and open terminal and enter this command.
