Is it possible to install VS Code on 32 bit ubuntu machine? if yes please provide the steps.

Answer 1

It's possible now, Microsoft released Linux 32bit version

Answer 2

Sorry You can't do that.

You can't install a 64-bit app on 32bit machine.

And from Microsoft download page, it does show download for 64-bit only.

You can use Ubuntu Make to download and install Visual Studio Code:
