Hi experts, I have installed the demo of the 365 business central, installed VS code, Docker and also downloaded the symbols successfully. Do I need to create the container and images inside the VS Code and how? Appreciate it!

    Please understand how the AL development works, please refer here. A container is used for local development and if you already have a locally installed BC you don't have to create a container, you can use that.

    I tried to follow your advice to run the command in the powershell, but had an error below:

    PS C:\Windows\system32> Install BcContainerHelper

    Install : The term 'Install' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

    Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    The version of of the powershell is 5.1.19041.610 (windows 10)

    Thank you!

    You need to use the following command not Install

    Install-Module BcContainerHelper -force

    The download folder name is Dynamics.365.BC.Spring2019.29537.NA.DVD

    Is this the correct command? $ArtifactUrl = 'be' | % { Get-BCArtifactUrl -US $_ -Dynamics.365.BC.Spring2019.29537 }

    Thank you!
