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

If you prefer console based editors like neovim or emacs, then you will get the best results by launching the development containers defined in the epics-containers using the devcontainer CLI as described here https://containers.dev/supporting#devcontainer-cli.

In addition you could install your editor inside the developer container by adding an apt-install command into the epics-containers user personalization file. See details here
