 ## Legacy
 
-If you don't want to install rocker on your system but want to use vscode, you can run the `scripts/launch_vscode.sh` script to build and connect to a docker container. It will install rocker in a venv.  The docker container is dynamically generated using [rocker](https://github.com/osrf/rocker) and [deps rocker](https://github.com/blooop/deps_rocker).  [deps rocker](https://github.com/blooop/deps_rocker) looks at the python_template.deps.yaml file to install any required apt, pip or shell scripts and launches a container that vscode attaches to.
