Is vscode needed

Hello,

I am getting an error when using the VScode “Could not start the Julia language server. Make sure the julia.executablePath setting is valid” Is this going to be a problem in the getting started phase?

If Julia is not added to the PATH environment variable of your system, then you need to provide the Julia installation path manually.

The instructions for that are given here:

Before VSCode and its Julia extenstion you need to install Julia itself from https://julialang.org.

I suggest using juliaup to install Julia, it will automatically setup your path as required. If you already installed Julia, uninstall it and reinstall it with juliaup.
