Anod and most of the other scripts provided in this repository offer more verbose logging.
In general, passing additional `-v` flags will make logging more verbose.
For example, for the most verbose logging, you can pass `-vv` to most scripts.

+# 5. IDE Support
+
+## 5.1. VS Code
+
+[Visual Studio Code](#https://code.visualstudio.com/) (VS Code) is an open-source, lightweight IDE supporting a large and growing number of langauges.
+VS Code can be used to edit C and C++ code.
+VS Code also provides feedback to developers of potential problems with their code and offers support for navigating code.
+
+To take full advantage of VS Code's capabilities, you must provide VS Code with the set of paths that should be searched to resolve header files included for project dependencies.
+These settings are placed in a special JSON file named `c_cpp_properties.json` in the (typically hidden) directory `.vscode`.
+
+When using anod to supply OpenUxAS dependencies, this means that you must provide VS Code with paths into the anod sandbox for each OpenUxAS dependency.
+To simplify this process, anod includes a command `configure-vscode` that will generate the `c_cpp_properties.json` and, by default, place it in the expected location: under `develop/OpenUxAS/.vscode`.
+
+If you used `anod devel-setup uxas` to configure your bootstrap environment for OpenUxAS development, you don't have to do anything extra: anod has already created `develop/OpenUxAS/.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json` for you.
+
+If you manually configured your bootstrap environment for OpenUxAS development and you want to use VS Code for OpenUxAS development, you should run `anod configure-vscode` like this:
+
+ ~/bootstrap$ ./anod configure-vscode --out /path/to/OpenUxAS/.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json
+
+You can also have anod print the file to STDOUT and redirect it elsewhere, like this:
+
+ ~/bootstrap$ ./anod configure-vscode --stdout > /path/to/OpenUxAS/.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json
