unable to install VS code software

Question

Yes, this answer explains that you need to specify the path to the file when using apt or apt-get to install a package from a deb file. So assuming the deb file is in your current working directory, instead of sudo apt install vscode.deb you would need to use sudo apt install ./vscode.deb — mchid, Aug 09 '21 at 18:20
Do you really want to install the package from a .deb file you downloaded? This is a very bad way to install software, especially if you are not very familiar with package management in Ubuntu. If you just need to install this software, look at the answer below to install the snap — Nmath, Aug 09 '21 at 18:27
