That seems odd, code-server has changed a lot since I wrote this gist perhaps it's best to try to follow the instructions at https://github.com/cdr/code-server
Hey, I've used this great script and want to thank you for it. I'm not sure but it looks like the name has changed again to "code-server-3.3.0-linux-amd64" for the tarball, from what I can tell.

They also recently switched to distributing .debs instead which maybe a neater solution.

Thanks for posting this script. The script seems to work for me and everything installs but when I run
./code-server -H -p 8080I get this:
./code-server: 18: exec: /home/jslatane/bin/node: not foundIs this something to do with not having node.js installed? I tried installing that as well but that didn't work. Any help is appreciated!
