### vscode setup

Please follow the instructions
[here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/r) to set up vscode for use
with `R`.
Install [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/Download) and
[configure it for using `R`](https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki/Installation:-Windows).

For those migrating from R studio to VS code, [this post on migrating to VS
code](https://statnmap.com/2021-10-09-how-not-to-be-lost-with-vscode-when-coming-from-rstudio/)
may be helpful.

In addition to those instructions, you may need to install the `vscDebugger`
package [here](https://github.com/ManuelHentschel/vscDebugger) using the
command:

```{r eval=FALSE}
remotes::install_github("ManuelHentschel/vscDebugger")
```

To improve the plot viewer when creating plots in `R`, install the `httpgd`
package:

```{r eval=FALSE}
install.packages("httpgd")
```

To add syntax highlighting and other features to the R terminal,
[radian](https://github.com/randy3k/radian) can be installed. Note needs to be
installed first in order to download radian.

A number of optional settings that could be added to the user settings
(settings.json) file in vscode to improve the usability of R in VS code.

For example, the [settings for interacting with R
terminals](https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki/Interacting-with-R-terminals#sending-code-to-r-terminals)
can be adjusted.
