How do I install VSCodium?

It's easy to get lost when downloading the VSCodium installer since there are 80 files listed for the latest release.

.sha1 and .sha256 files are hashes, which let you confirm that the downloaded file was the same as the release copy. This is a best practice to maximize security and guarantee the file is not corrupt.

arm7hl, armhf, aarch64, arm64, ia32 are likely for systems that you're not using.

x86_64 and amd64 are modern amd/intel systems.

.zip and .tar.gz files are the source code.

Mac users can download the .dmg file.

Windows users can try:
VSCodium-x64-1.62.2.msi
VSCodiumSetup-x64-1.62.2.exe
VSCodiumUserSetup-x64-1.62.2.exe

Linux users can look for a release for their system or install from source.

I used the amd6.deb file since Mint is a Debian based system.
