I downloaded the deb file and installed it using the command:
~$ sudo dpkg -i code_1.43.0-1583783132_amd64.deb
After creating a test code and saving it, I got a warning that there is no linter installed.
Suggested linter is pylint, but after clicking install I got some errors.
Here's what I did to fix the problem...
