How to install Visual Studio Code's `code` command permanently? I just followed the top-voted answer here and successfully installed Visual Studio Code's code command in my terminal.

However, the code command fails to launch Visual Studio Code every time after I restart my MacBook Pro.

~ code
zsh: command not found: code


Is it possible to install code permanently so that I don't have to install it every time I turn on my MacBook Pro?

~ where code
/usr/local/bin/code

~ ls -l /usr/local/bin/code
lrwxr-xr-x  1 myName  admin  167 Aug  5 13:41 /usr/local/bin/code -&gt; /private/var/folders/bh/525lnbns1213cx2651s97my00000gp/T/AppTranslocation/EA379FC4-05D2-4739-BE49-1D8870E47B8A/d/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code


I also find out that the folder EA379FC4-05D2-4739-BE49-1D8870E47B8A get deleted after I restart my laptop. 

This is the reason that I cannot run code after the laptop is restarted.

Why is code installed in a temporary folder? 

My MacBook Pro's version is macOS Sierra version 10.12.6
Looks like your whole Visual Studio got installed in a temporary folder.

Remove the current link with sudo rm /usr/local/bin/code

Start Visual Studio from within /Applications

Reinstall code as described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/29971430:

Now open the Command Palette (F1 or ⇧⌘P on Mac) and type shell command to find the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.



If it still doesn't work you can also link manually by running
sudo ln -fs &quot;/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code&quot; /usr/local/bin/
