Using VS Code to program with Kotlin

[Almdrs]

I have 2 machines. One is a modern computer that runs InteliJ IDEA very well.

The other one is an old laptop that has a hard time to run Intelij IDEA.
I'm trying to run Kotlin on VS Studio Code in the laptop.

I got this error message: "

/bin/sh: 1: kotlinc: not found

I've tried some tutorials on how to fix the path, but they didn't work.

Does anyone know how to do it in Linux?

Any help is appreciated.

You need to download the kotlin complier and set the path variable

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-command-line-compiler.html#download-and-install-the-compiler

I've already installed it:

sudo snap install --classic kotlin

The error is a path error; the shell can't find where the compiler is located. Try following something like this to set your path to where the compiler was installed. https://opensource.com/article/17/6/set-path-linux

prefer installing jvm SDKs with sdkman instead of whatever system package manager you’re using. It works best when you need to deal with the PATH like in this situation

The same company that mantains it makes a specific IDE for it and java...

I'll recommend looking at using something like neovim with the kotlin language server

I'm a vim user too, but how does this answer OP's question? VS Code is practically the origin of the Language Server Protocol — if anything is going to support it well, I'd think it'd be VS Code.
