How to run/start VsCode in Centos 7

I have installed vscode on a remote server(which means I have to use ssh) running on Centos 7. The version of vscode is 1.54.3.

When I run code, the line get executed but the vscode does not start. When I try /usr/share/code/code I get an error

:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I’m aborting now. You need to make sure that /usr/share/code/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

I have tried solving it using

cd /usr/share/code/
sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox

and

/usr/share/code/code --no-sandbox

But it does not work.
Where could I be doing wrong?

    • Reboot the host after installation
    • Update vscode: sudo yum update code
    • Change directory: cd /usr/share/code
    • Run: sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox
    • Run: sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox
    • Start vscode: code .
