I’ve never used Visual Studio Code to do this on linux, but Qt Creator has worked fine. You can probably follow the same process. Report back what you find out.

See: [Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Tutorials/QtCreator - Slicer Wiki](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Tutorials/QtCreator)
