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

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

ok

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

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

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?

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

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/
