!!! warning "Avoid `Visual Studio Code`"
Avoid using `Visual Studio Code` to connect to the HPC, as it is heavy and bloats
the servers. Heavy development shouldn't be done directly on the HPC.
For most tasks using a terminal based editor should be enough like:
`Vim` or `Emacs`. If you want to have some more advanced features try [`Neovim`](https://neovim.io/)
where you can add plugins to meet your specific needs.

!!! tip "Install Neovim using Micormamba"
Neovim is not installed by default on the HPC but you can install it using [Micromamba](../environment/conda.md#Installation).

```bash
micromamba install conda-forge::nvim
```
After installation create a alias under `.bashrc` like this:
```bash
alias nvim='micromamba run -n nvim nvim'
```
