      a small download so you can install in a matter of minutes and give AVAP™
      Dev Studio 2024 a try.

## Cross platform

AVAP™ DS is a free code editor, which runs on the macOS, Linux, and
      Windows operating systems.

Follow the platform-specific guides below:

* macOS
* Linux
* Windows

AVAP™ Dev Studio 2024 is lightweight and should run on most available
      hardware and platform versions. You can review the System Requirements to
      check if your computer configuration is supported.

## Update cadence

AVAP™ Dev Studio 2024 releases a new version each month with new features
      and important bug fixes. Most platforms support auto updating and you will
      be prompted to install the new release when it becomes available. You can
      also manually check for updates by running{' '}
       Help > Check for Updates  on Linux and Windows or
      running  Code > Check for Updates  on macOS.

## Insiders nightly build

If you'd like to try our nightly builds to see new features early or
      verify bug fixes, you can install our Insiders build. The Insiders build
      installs side-by-side with the monthly Stable build and you can freely
      work with either on the same machine. The Insiders build is the same one
      the AVAP™ Dev Studio 2024 development team uses on a daily basis and we
      really appreciate people trying out new features and providing feedback.

## Portable mode

AVAP™ Dev Studio 2024 supports Portable mode installation. This mode
      enables all data created and maintained by VS Code to live near itself, so
      it can be moved around across environments, for example, on a USB drive.
      See the AVAP™ Dev Studio 2024 Portable Mode documentation for details.
