   Having the same problem on my Raspbian (debian) running at a Raspberry Pi 3.
   I've actually tried to compile it from source, but I got this:

   npm ERR! notsup Unsupported
   npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fsevents@0.3.8
   npm ERR! notsup Valid OS: darwin
   npm ERR! notsup Valid Arch: any
   npm ERR! notsup Actual OS: linux
   npm ERR! notsup Actual Arch: arm
   

   I tried using nodejs from apt-get, and tried again using this version (supose to build for ARM):
   http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_latest_armhf.deb

   For compiling, I wrote this:

   ./scripts/npm.sh install --arch=armhf
   

   Not sure if the npm.sh support the arch parameter

   What version of node and npm are you using? I think that error happened when optional dependencies weren't working properly for certain versions of npm 3.

   The v4.2.1 is the last version I can get at apt-get form Raspbian. At night I will try to get a better version outside package manager.

   [EDIT] My node is kind outdated, cause I've checked and I cant even use ES6 javascript, like const or let instead of var.

   Jiéverson Maissiat (@jieverson) vscode is TypeScript so it should be compiled down, regardless though according to the docs

   You'll need Node.JS, at least v5.10.

   Warning: npm/npm#12698 prevents us from using npm >= 3.9, be sure to install npm < 3.9.

    Jiéverson Maissiat (@jieverson) sorry for bumping an old thread, but I did get it working on Raspbian on a RPi3 model B.

    node --version
    v6.4.0
    npm --version
    v3.8.9
    

    Although node@6.4.0 is not available in the default apt-get repositories, you can still install it with apt-get through these instructions.
    You'll then have to manually downgrade npm -- I did this systemwide because I didn't need a super up-to-date version of npm: sudo npm install -g npm@3.8.9. After that, the build just kind of worked to be honest. Either way, good luck!

    I really cant get it to work here.

    # curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash
    

    

    I got some errors trying to install nodesource repo. After the errors, if I try to apt-get nodejs, I still get the v4.

    Wow, that really is very strange! I guess you can try using the binaries from node themselves, since they do provide arm-packaged binaries?
    For me, the nodesource installer only added (and installed keys for)

    deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x jessie main
    deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x jessie main
    

    to my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list file, and didn't touch any mirrors in other apt settings.
    I'm running the latest Raspbian image though - your sources seem to imply that you're running Ubuntu trusty?

    okay, for the sake of completeness, I tried to run a full build and package VSCode on a RPi to see if it is possible. On the RPi3 Model B, this fails because the optimize-vscode stage allocates too much memory.

    Specifically where we OOM seems to vary between runs, sometimes it's an Array.prototype.forEach call and sometimes it's JSON.stringify.

    This isn't a huge problem as "fast" builds still complete, and VSCode does run, although it would be nice if the entire build process could be performed on a RPi.

    João Moreno (@joaomoreno) Apologizes if this is the wrong place to ask, but are there plans to update the insider download page to include Linux arm64/armhf?
