    Step 1
    Install and configure NVIDIA Sync

    Follow the NVIDIA Sync setup guide to:

    • Install NVIDIA Sync for your operating system
    • Configure which development tools you want to use (VS Code, Cursor, Terminal, etc.)
    • Add your DGX Spark device by providing its hostname/IP and credentials

    NVIDIA Sync will automatically configure SSH key-based authentication for secure, password-free access.

    Step 2
    Launch VS Code through NVIDIA Sync

    • Click the NVIDIA Sync icon in your system tray/taskbar
    • Ensure your device is connected (click "Connect" if needed)
    • Click on "VS Code" to launch it with an automatic SSH connection to your DGX Spark
    • Wait for the remote connection to be established (your local machine may ask for a password or to authorize the connection)
    • You may be prompted to "trust the authors of the files in this folder" when you first land in the home directory after a successful SSH connection

    Step 3
    Validation and follow-ups

    • Verify that you can access your DGX Spark's filesystem with VS Code as a text editor
    • Open the integrated terminal in VS Code and run test commands like hostnamectl and whoami to ensure you are remotely accessing your DGX Spark
    • Navigate to a specific file path or directory and start editing/writing files
    • Install VS Code extensions for your development workflow (Python, Docker, GitLens, etc.)
    • Clone repositories from GitHub or other version control systems
    • Configure and locally host an LLM code assistant if desired
