Configuring the development environment

This section provides brief instructions on configuring the development environment and adding the header files included in KasperskyOS Community Edition to a development project.

Configuring the code editor

Before getting started, you should do the following to simplify your development of KasperskyOS-based solutions:

• Install code editor extensions and plugins for your programming language (C, C++ and/or Rust).
• Add the header files included in KasperskyOS Community Edition to the development project.

  The header files are located in the following directory: /opt/KasperskyOS-Community-Edition-<platform>-<version>/sysroot-*-kos/include.

Example of how to configure Visual Studio Code

KasperskyOS Community Edition includes the KasperskyOS SDK Extension for Visual Studio Code, which integrates KasperskyOS Community Edition with the source code editor known as Visual Studio Code.

The KasperskyOS SDK Extension for Microsoft Visual Studio Code is provided only in the QEMU emulator SDK and intended only for this SDK version.

Instead of installing the extension, you can also manually add the header files included in KasperskyOS Community Edition to the development project.

To more conveniently navigate the project code, including the system API:

1. Create a new workspace or open an existing workspace in Visual Studio Code.

   A workspace can be opened implicitly by using the File > Open folder menu options.

2. Make sure the C/C++ for Visual Studio Code extension is installed.
3. In the View menu, select the Command Palette item.
4. Select the C/C++: Edit Configurations (UI) item.
5. In the Include path field, add the path /opt/KasperskyOS-Community-Edition-<platform>-<version>/sysroot-*-kos/include.
6. Close the C/C++ Configurations window.
