VSCode # The term 'node' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program

Error : VSCode The term 'node' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program

Solution:

If you have installed node while VS Code was opened, Try closing the Editor and then reopen the editor again. 

Why this is required? 

- If node is installed while VS Code was opened then the change to the PATH won't be visible yet. 

- Make sure that "add to PATH option" is selected while installing node.

- If not done, make sure to add it to the PATH environment variable

Hope this helps !
