2. Import GPG key

gpg --import /home/pi/Downloads/headmelted-code-oss-0CC3FD642696BFC8.pub.gpg
gpg --list-keys

3. Install the PackageCloud repository for code-oss

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/headmelted/codebuilds/script.deb.sh | sudo bash

4. Install code-oss

sudo apt-get install code-oss=1.29.0-1539702238
