More importantly do I still need to have Visual Studio (Community) installed?
Also how can I generate project from command line (with -vscode)? I can’t find any relevant reference for that to try.

I installed .Net Core Runtime, c++ and c# and lldb debugger for VS Code. But when I created a blueprint project, created a class it asked me to recompile the project but it couldn’t because it says it can’t find Visual Studio with c++.

I would like to avoid installing VS because it installs a lot of unnecessary files. (At least for me). If I can’t avoid it it’s ok I just want to know.

Just a heads up: “Default” Intellisense doesn’t work. Only “Tag Parser” does.

To build you will need to install the Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) I believe.

Thanks for heads up. I can’t seem to find a standalone installer. VS 2015 sdk include it (If I’m right with google search) but it needs VS 2015 to be installed. Looks like VS Code doesn’t replace VS, only for code editing.
