VS Code was installed in Kali Linux but I remove it using the following commands:
sudo apt-get purge code
sudo apt autoremove
as I need to install snap because it automatically updates software then I install snap using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install snapd
after all this I type the following commands to install vscode:
sudo snap install code --classic
but after all this. vs code isn't available in the applications menu and also can't detect using
code --version
Check if vs code is in the Snap installed list by running command
snap list
If it is in the list , try Running
snap run code
You download and install by manual

Cannot load VSCode

I cannot load VSCOde onto my old Toshiba laptop using Fedoa23. I follow the instructions from the web and finally get the message "No package code availale". I have previously installes VSCode on an old computer using Fedora23 but this time it does not work? Where do I go wrong?
Thanks.
Don't know, but this works for me.
You can use these step to install VSCode:
sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[code]\nname=Visual Studio Code\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/vscode\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" > /etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo'
Then update the package cache and install the package using dnf (Fedora 22 and above):
dnf check-update
sudo dnf install code
Or on older versions using yum:
yum check-update
sudo yum install code

error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1 on cent os

I am newbie for Cent os. Installing phantomjs on Cent os. Followed below steps but still facing issue.
Steps :
curl -O https://phantomjs.googlecode.com/files/phantomjs-1.9.1-linux-i686.tar.bz2.
tar xvf phantomjs-1.9.1-linux-i686.tar.bz2
cp phantomjs-1.9.1-linux-i686/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin
sudo yum install freetype
sudo yum install fontconfig
Above all steps completed successfully but when I try to hit phantomjs, it shows error "phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."
Thanks in advance.
Just make sure you successfully run
yum install fontconfig freetype freetype-devel fontconfig-devel libstdc++
and then try to install as usual.
To remove this error.
# sudo yum install fontconfig
If you are still facing the error, Run
# sudo yum install fontconfig freetype libfreetype.so.6 libfontconfig.so.1 libstdc++.so.6
Note :
If you are using ubuntu or debian, use apt-get install to install this package.
centos, NodeJS, html-pdf
sudo yum install fontconfig (worked for me)

How to start IDLE that comes with Python 3.6

I am using Linux Mint 18. I installed Python 3.5 and 3.6 using apt-get in the terminal. I can open IDLE of Python 2.7 and 3.5 using commands idle and idle3 respectively. How can I access IDLE that comes with Python 3.6?
Try the command idle3.6. python3 and idle3 are still associated with your system Python, which is 3.5.
Simply typing in idle3.6 should work just like carusot42 mentioned. If it doesn't work, perhaps you might want to see if everything else is installed correctly. Here are the steps I followed which worked perfectly fine for me. I am also running Linux Mint 18. The steps that I followed were:
Installed the prerequisites of Python. Do that by typing in the following commands -
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev
Download Python using the following command and extract it (use your desired location) -
cd /usr/src
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.1/Python-3.6.1.tgz
sudo tar xzf Python-3.6.0.tgz
The next step is to compile Python source. To do that type in the commands below-
cd Python-3.6.1
./configure
sudo make altinstall
make altinstall is used to prevent replacing the default Python binary
file /usr/bin/python
You should be good to go. You check your Python version by typing python3.6 -V in the terminal.
Once you do that, type in idle3.6 and then Python 3.6.1 shell should open for you.
The Software Manager in Linux Mint lists the Python Packages and IDLE Packages
separately. After you install Python, go look up the associated IDLE package in the Software Manager and install it. Reboot and it should work fine. It worked for me.

Installing LuaMongo on Ubuntu 11.10

I have researched and viewed the post to install luamongo- http://groups.google.com/group/luamongo/browse_thread/thread/1eaa56974614dc90/c91c842e241aa4de#c91c842e241aa4de
But the installation will not work. I already have mongodb-10gen version 2.0.3 and lua5.1 version 5.1.4.10 installed.
How do I download luamongo from https://github.com/moai/luamongo and install it and get it working as an import statement in a lua script to be able to write to a mongo db? Any suggestions would be helpful, nothing I have tried so far or read has been able to help. If more information is needed I will post it. Thanks in advance.
I got this script from a friend of mine which should be helpful:
# Download mongodb and driver
wget http://downloads.mongodb.org/cxx-driver/mongodb-linux-x86_64-v2.0-latest.tgz

# Extract each
tar xvzf mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.0.2.tgz
tar xvzf mongodb-linux-x86_64-v2.0-latest.tgz
# Add mongo bin to PATH
export PATH=$PATH:~/mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.0.2/bin
