Technical requirements

Developing for Business Central requires access to a Business Central environment, as well as Visual Studio Code installed as the source code editor.

Business Central (hosted by Microsoft in the Azure cloud) can be accessed from a modern browser (Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox for Windows or Safari for macOS). Having a subscription to Office 365 is strongly recommended for Word, Excel, and emailing functionality.

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a small download (< 200 MB) and has a disk footprint of < 500 MB. It’s lightweight and should easily run on today’s hardware.

For an on-premises installation of VS Code, the following is required:

1.6 GHz or faster processor

1 GB of RAM
Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit)
macOS (current and previous two versions)
Linux (Debian): Ubuntu Desktop 20.04, Debian 10

Linux (Red Hat): Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, Fedora 36A https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Programming-Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Business-Central-Seventh-Edition.

For a complete list of VS Code requirements, please visit https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/supporting/requirements.

Installing VS Code will be covered later in this chapter, in the The VS Code integrated development environment section.
