How to update VS Code in Fedora 27

Question

In my work I have been told that need to use Fedora. I use VS Code and when I want to update I got redirected to download a .tar.gz file.

What is the right way to install the newer version?

Answer 1

Well it seems I have found the answer for my particular issue according to this issue from the official github repository it seems that there is a delay with the RPM packages, so waiting for them to upload the packages, a few days usually, and then run dnf upgrade code will do the trick

Answer 2

Download the latest .rpm from the official website. And run rpm -Uvh xxx.rpm to update vs code.

I just used this method to update my vs code.
