Prerequisites

Before you set up Salesforce Extensions for VS Code, make sure that you have these essentials.

• Salesforce CLI Before you use Salesforce Extensions for VS Code, set up Salesforce CLI.

• A Salesforce DX project Open your Salesforce DX project in a directory that contains an sfdx-project.json file. Otherwise, some features don't work. If you don't already have a Salesforce DX project, create one with the SFDX: Create Project command (for development against scratch orgs) or the SFDX: Create Project with Manifest command (for development against sandboxes or DE orgs). Or, see create a Salesforce DX project for information about setting up a project using Salesforce CLI.

• Java Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit Some features in Salesforce Extensions for VS Code depend upon the Java Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit (JDK). You need to have version 11 or higher of the JDK installed.

  If you don't already have version 11 or higher of the JDK installed, we recommend you install Java 21 from Java 21 Downloads.

  If you also use other versions of the JDK, set your VS Code user setting salesforcedx-vscode-apex.java.home to point to the location where you installed Java.

• Visual Studio Code (latest - 2) - You must be within 2 months of the latest VSCode version
