Same thing was happening to me after I installed Node js  Node and npm was recognized in PowerShell and Command Prompt but not in VS Code  I fixed it by adding the Node js install path to the system s environment PATH variable  The node js install path on my system was      C  Program Files nodejs   Where I find the node exe that is needed  The user s PATH variable already had the Node js install path but for some reason VS Code needs the Node js install path in the system s PATH variables   Windows 10 instructions    Windows key and type  environment  Select  Edit the system environment variables  Click button labelled  Environment Variables     In  System variables  section edit the  Path  variable Add Node js install path to the list  C  Program Files nodejs    The other answers were great but this is another way to fix it that worked for me without needing to install stuff  run as admin  or change the default settings

VSCode User Setup is a new installer which installs VSCode and its dependencies in directories which don t require system-level   administrator permissions to modify  This is because New VSCode runs with user privileges  Your Nodejs installation added npm s path as System variable which VSCode cannot read       Adding NPM path to Path variable in the User variable  you will be able to run NPM from the integrated command line

As an alternative to some of the answers suggested above  if you have powershell installed  you can invoke that directly as your terminal   That is edit the corresponding setting json value as follows     terminal integrated shell windows    C   WINDOWS  System32  WindowsPowerShell  v1 0  powershell exe    I find this works well as the environment is correctly configured

One reason might be if you install the node after starting the vs code as vs code terminal integrated or external takes the path value which was at the time of starting the vs code and gives you error       node  is not recognized as an internal or external command operable   program or batch file    A simple restart of vs code will solve the issue
