I set up Hardhat in VScode with the required dependencies, running an Alchemy node with Metamask. I've tried most of the troubleshoots I have found online and have read most of the documentation but I'm still lost.. Whatever information you need I can provide. Anything helps. Thank you so much. I'm pretty new to this so please work with me.

Here is the error I receive:

npx hardhat node
Error HH604: Error running JSON-RPC server: Must be authenticated!

This error is usually shown when the Alchemy URL is incorrect. You can try verifying the key once if that helps.

I made sure the Alchemy URL is correct. After adding the API key to your project, you can also grab the Alchemy URL(found in the alchemy dashboard) and add it to your project as well.
