> reference data :
> + [Installing the Toolchain Manager](https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_assistant.html#installing-the-toolchain-manager)
+ In the APPS section, click ==Install== next to Toolchain Manager.

+ The app is installed on your machine, and the Install button changes to ==Open==.

## Install SDK v1.8.0
> reference data :
> + [Installing the nRF Connect SDK](https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_assistant.html#installing-the-ncs)
+ Click ==Install== button at nRF Connect SDK v1.8.0

+ nRF Connect will notify us need to install VS Code first.
+ Download VS code for M1 revision from [offical web](https://code.visualstudio.com/Download)
+ Drop download file to Application folder.

+ Launch VS code from Launchpad

+ Launch the Command Palette ==(Cmd+Shift+P)== and type 'shell command' to find the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.

+ Close VS code and nRF Connect
+ Reopen nRF Connect
+ Launch ==Toolchain Manager==
+ Click ==Install== next to SDK v1.8.0 to start download it
+ Wait SDK download finish (around 1.3GB)

## Install VS Code extensions
+ Click ==Open VS Code== from Toolchain Manager

+ nRF Connect will pop some extensions need to install
+ Click ==Open VS Code==
+ nRF Connect will stick that seem like Nordic issue...Orz

## Setting nRF Connect for VS code
+ Launch VS Code
+ Click left side ==nRF Connect for VS Code== icon
+ Click ==Quick Setup==
+ Select SDK revision
+ 1.8.0 (/opt/nordic/ncs/v1.8.0)

## Create a sample and build it
+ Click ==Create a new application from sample==
+ Select prefer setting for sample project
+ Application type
+ Freestanding
+ Application template
+ zephyr/samples/helo_world
+ Application name can't duplicate in Application location.
+ Click ==Create Application== to create sample project
+ Click ==Add Vuild Configuration==
+ Select prefer setting
+ Board :
+ Nordic boards
+ nrf52840dk_nrf52840
+ Click ==Build Configuration==

+ We can find some new files be generated

+ Click ==Build== from ==ACTION== and confirm build result without any error message

+ Output file will locate at
+ $(Project_folder)/build/zephyr/

## Let VS Code detect your J-LINK
+ Normally you will find this issue, macOS can detect J-LINK but VS Code can't

+ Connect nRF52840-DK to your MacBook

+ Install J-LINK for x86 ==**<= it's very strange but workable...Orz**==
+ Launch nrf-command-line-tools-$(VERSION)-Darwin.dmg (Download from [**Here**](https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nrf-command-line-tools/download))

+ Click refresh icon to redetect J-LINK

+ Now we can see J-LINK from VS Code :+1:
# Get your environment setting
> reference data :
