Getting Started

GAMS-IDE for VS Code is an extension for integrated GAMS (general algebraic modeling system) development in Visual Studio Code. It provides a rich set of features for GAMS modeling, including syntax highlighting, auto-completion, compilation, execution, error detection, and navigation.

This documentation will guide you through the installation, configuration, usage, and migration of the GAMS-IDE extension. You will learn how to set up your VS Code workspace, how to run and debug your GAMS models, how to use the various features of the extension, and how to migrate from GAMS Studio if you are already familiar with it.

We need your feedback!

We hope that you will enjoy using GAMS-IDE and find it useful for your GAMS modeling projects. GAMS-IDE is open source software, and we welcome contributions from the community. If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback, please feel free to open an issue or start a discussion on Github.
