I can't install vscode due to corrputed file error

Hi. I'm trying to install visual studio code but I can't.

I get this error code:

error: missing package metadata in code-stable-x64-1752598634.tar.gz
error: 'code-stable-x64-1752598634.tar.gz': invalid or corrupted package

what should I do?

What package are you trying to install? What command are you typing to do it? Seems there are many options here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=vscode

You are trying to install the source tarball instead of the package.
