## Issues with Node.js after version upgrades
Proceed to [installing](#installing)
## Windows
Installing code-server requires all of the [prerequisites for VS Code development](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#prerequisites). When installing the C++ compiler tool chain, we recommend using "Option 2: Visual Studio 2019" for best results.
Next, install code-server with:
```bash
yarn global add code-server
# Or: npm install -g code-server
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
A `postinstall.sh` script will attempt to run. Select your terminal (e.g git bash) as the default application for .sh files. If an additional dialog does not appear, run the install command again.
If the `code-server` command is not found, you'll need to [add a directory to your PATH](https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/). To find the directory, use the following commands:
```shell
yarn global bin
# Or: npm config get prefix
```
For help and additional troubleshooting, see [#1397](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1397).
## Installing
After adding the dependencies for your OS, install code-server package globally:
```bash
yarn global add code-server
# Or: npm install -g code-server
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
