After installing VSCodium with the Software Installer, I encounter following issue:

/usr/share/codium/bin/../codium: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing libasound2 will solve this issue!

apt-get install libasound2

Please update your installation script!

Many thanks for your report.

The issue is that no desktop is automatically installed together with it (which pulled in ALSA as well). The use case without desktop may be minimal, but it is possible to start VSCodium from console via xinit. So I'll add a dependency on ALSA instead: ebd5643

Changelog: b29936d
