Not in my experience. Never since it appear the setup have worked for me, not even once.

I try again last week. I need to copy-paste the .sh script from github because the one it generate was wrong.

P.D: I don' use yeoman. NPM bloat is not my style: I follow the MS tutorial:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/fsharp/tuto...

Also, you don't need to use yeoman, "dotnet new --lang F#" produces a blank F# .net core project and then you can add all of the dependencies manually.

I'd love to learn more about what went wrong in setup. Keeping that article up to date and, more importantly, correct is a priority of mine, because I really want people to learn about Ionide and F#.

> build.sh: line 34: syntax error: unexpected end of file

So I delete the last empty line, and get:

> build.sh: line 33: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'

I don't see any wrong with the script (I don't know bash scripting). So I go to the github site and just copy from https://github.com/ionide/ionide-vscode-fake/blob/master/bui...

And it work.
