The Fuchsia SDK samples repository includes a getting-started.code-workspace file. This configuration file sets up a VS Code workspace for the Fuchsia SDK and recommends Fuchsia-specific VS Code extensions.

In VS Code, do the following:

1. Click File > Open Workspace from File.

   This opens the host machine's home directory.

2. Go to your fuchsia-getting-started directory.

3. Select the getting-started.code-workspace file.

4. Click Yes, I trust the authors.

   A pop-up message appears at the bottom right corner of VS Code.

5. Click Install.

   This installed the following extensions:

   • Fuchsia VS Code extension{:.external}
   • FIDL extension{:.external}
   • Bazel extension{:.external}

   Note: You may see more pop-ups recommending other extensions while using VS Code. However, you can safely ignore them for the rest of this guide.
