• Install WPILib VS Code

  You tick this one8 XP

  This one is here at the start of the week for a reason: the download is around 1.5 GB. Begin it now, on wifi you trust, and go back to the next mission while it runs.

  Go to the WPILib release page for the current season and get the installer for your operating system.

  Run it, choose Everything, and choose Download for this computer only.

  When it finishes you will have a separate copy of VS Code called WPILib VS Code. Use that one. A VS Code you already had will not have the robot commands in it.

  To prove it works: open WPILib VS Code, press Ctrl+Shift+P (Cmd+Shift+P on a Mac) and type WPILib. If you see a list of WPILib commands, you are done.

  If you are on a school laptop and the download is blocked, tell a mentor. Do not spend an hour fighting it on your own - that is an hour you could have spent writing code.

Ticking a mentor item means “I am ready to show you”. Find a mentor, show them, and they will confirm it from their console.
