Why does node.js not work in visual code?

Question

I know this problem has been asked a few times, but I still couldn't find a correct answer for myself.

I have node.js installed in my 'C:\Program Files' folder, and I can run the node.js app. When opening the command prompt I can also get the version of the node by typing 'node -v' which shows my node version v14.15.4.

But whenever I write this in VS Code terminal it shows me this error message:

node: The term 'node' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

node

  + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (node:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

running in a separate terminal is better, the ide console is not height enough to see output — Dee, Jan 29 '21 at 02:14
You could try adding the env variable for windows of `C:/users//appData/roaming/npm` — Jarrett, Jan 29 '21 at 02:23
