Choose Your Developer Environment#

The tutorials walk through the use of a standard set of developer tools. You can use others if you wish but support is limited currently.

Working with your own code editor#

If you have your own preferred code editor, you can use it instead of vscode. We recommend developing generic IOCs using a devcontainer. Devcontainer supporting tools are listed here https://containers.dev/supporting.

epics-containers has been tested with

  • vscode

  • Github Codespaces

TODO: add instructions for using other editors. Potentially we could enhance the epics-containers-cli to support other editors with minimal effort.
