Command Line Interface Visual Studio Code support Coding on Raspberry Pi Blocks Embed

Command Line Interface

It is possible to use the tools from the pxt command line interface (CLI). pxt can:

  • Edit, compile or deploy JavaScript programs.
  • Easily integrate into most IDEs. It comes with built-in support for Visual Studio Code.
  • Run a local web server for the web editor.
  • Author packages using JavaScript and/or C++.

Using the PXT CLI assumes that you have some experience with programming and will require installation of additinal tools on your machine.
