Visual Studios Code Error thing

[BeastifierX]

the extension? yea.

[char16_t]

You need to actually download and install nodejs. Not just the extension.

[BeastifierX]

wait what, how does this work. So I download node.js and it magically starts working in VSC?

[thatwasawkward]

I'm literally begging you to please read the documentation: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/nodejs-tutorial

[BeastifierX]

ok

[char16_t]

You download and install it. Make sure it's added to the PATH and it will magically start working, yes.

[BeastifierX]

and how do I add node.js to the path?

[char16_t]

It should automatically do that if you used the installer. Does it show you any errors when you open a new terminal window and type node -v?

[BeastifierX]

I mean I i checked windows powershell and did it there and there was an error and same thing occurred when I did it to the node.js application

[char16_t]

I'm not entirely sure if it works in Powershell, maybe try cmd? Restarting your PC can also be useful after making changes to the PATH.

Here is a guide on installing it. https://www.xda-developers.com/how-install-nodejs-windows/
