Thread: How to install Node.js Extension

Hello,

I installed on a Slackware based (SALIX) VS Code via FlatPack and I tried to set up the JAVA environment. First time I tested a JavaScript sample file received a message (see attached).

Then I installed from package manager nodejs 17.9.0 and I followed:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/n...ith-javascript

I tried to add to launch.json "runtimeExecutable": "node"

    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch Program",
            "skipFiles": [
                "<node_internals>/**"
            ],
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/GettingStarted/jssample.js",
            "runtimeExecutable": "node"
        }
    ]
}

  ngtcp2: '0.1.0-DEV',
  nghttp3: '0.1.0-DEV'

I can run the js file from CLI BUT not in VS Code environment.
Not to mention it works just fine on Debian based OSs.

Thanks!
