Hi @Joseph,

Just take a look here and see the video linked inside…

> Hello, I am trying to get set up with processing in VSCode, and I am encountering the following problem when attempting to run the processing project. I followed [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKuu-WcOZYA) tutorial to get started. I don’t believe that I missed any steps, but at 8:20 I notice a discrepancy between what is shown when he runs the processing project in VSCode versus when I try to run it in my VSCode. His says Executing task: processing-java --force "--sketch=C:\Users\Andrea\Downloads\hw0" "--output=C:\Users\Andrea\Down…

Do it similar like this, but in the end where you create the Task json you should use as command the absolute path to your processing-java if it is not in your PATH environment variable.  
Then it should work … let me know if you stuck …

Cheers
