Installation
Learn how to install the RCV-VSCode extension!
There will be an automatic installer in the coming updates that will automatically install everything (except python and extensions) for you :)
RCV-VSCode installation
To install the extension, just look for "RCV-VSCode" in your VSCode extensions and install it, like any other extension :D
Workspace preparation
Just create a new folder in your system and open it as a whole workspace in Visual Studio Code.
RCV-VSCode is intended to be used as a whole workspace extension, so it does not fully support multiple workspaces/folders in the same VSCode instance.
If you choose to use multiple workspaces/folders in the same instance that you use RCV-VSCode, we cannot help that much directly, but feel free to report any issues and we will try to fix them ASAP.
RenderCV installation
This will be automated in coming updates
RenderCV CLI
You can have a semi-automatic experience by following the virtual environment setup tip!
If you want to manually install the CLI, we would recommend setting up a virtual environment first and coming back to this section afterwads.
Once you have python (and optionally, a virtual environment) installed, you just have to follow the RenderCV CLI setup tutorial at the bottom of their repository, which is basically just the following command:
If you use a Virtual Environment, you might need to activate it before executing the command!
The command to install the RenderCV CLI:
pip install "rendercv[full]"
After you have executed that command successfully, you are all done!
Virtual Environment
It is recommended to use a Virtual Environment (venv) to work with RCV-VSCode, but this is totally optional and there are at least 2 ways of doing so:
- Native python venv
- UV installation
(This is a work in progress)
Please be patient with us, semi-automatic and fully-automatic venv/requirement installations will come soon!
