Pre-requisites
HI! Thanks for taking the time to checkout my code. This is a pre-requisites wiki before continuing to try debug with VS Code. BEWARE: The following instructions are only relevant to Debian/Ubuntu based distributions.

You'll need to open a terminal window and run these commands before continuing. On Pop_OS! GCC and Python3 are already installed. You may need to install these too depending on which operating system you are using.

Update before running
`sudo apt-get update -y`
`sudo apt-get upgrade -y`

Programs we need to install
`sudo apt-get install code -y `
`sudo apt-get install gdb -y`

All Done

Once you have these installed you can navigate to this directory via the terminal` cd path/to/directory` and open VS Code `code .` That's it! You're good to go!
