Hi Jahtetisimi Onatoyinbo,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q & A forum.     

If you're asking about setting up installed tools or SDKs (like .NET SDK, Node.js, etc.) in Visual Studio Code, here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 

1.Install the SDK or Tool: 

.NET SDK: Download and install the .NET SDK from the official .NET website. Follow the instructions for your operating system. 

Node.js: Download and install Node.js from the official Node.js website. This will also install npm (Node Package Manager). 

2.Verify Installation: 

Open a terminal in VS Code (Terminal > New Terminal or `Ctrl+``). 

Run dotnet --version to check if .NET SDK is installed correctly. 

Run node --version and npm --version to check if Node.js and npm are installed correctly. 

3.Configure VS Code for the SDK or Tool: 

.NET SDK: 

Install the C# extension for Visual Studio Code from the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X), searching for "C#". 

Open a .NET project or create a new one using dotnet new commands in the terminal. 

Node.js: 

Install the Node.js extension for Visual Studio Code, searching for "Node.js" or "JavaScript" in the Extensions view. 

You might also want to install the "npm" extension to manage npm scripts more easily. 

4.Open or Create a Project: 

Use File > Open Folder to open your existing project or create a new one. 

For .NET, you can use dotnet new to create a new project template. 

For Node.js, create a new project by running npm init in the terminal. 

5.Use Integrated Terminal: 

Run build and run commands directly in the integrated terminal. For example, dotnet build for .NET projects or npm start for Node.js projects. 

6.Explore Additional Features: 

For .NET, you can use debugging and IntelliSense features provided by the C# extension. 

For Node.js, you can take advantage of debugging, code linting, and other features available through extensions. 

For a more detailed guide on setting up Visual Studio Code with various tools and SDKs, you can visit the Visual Studio Code setup documentation.
