* [Git](#Git)

## C++
1. Download VSCode
[Click me](https://code.visualstudio.com/download)

2. Install Extensions
* C/C++

* C++ Intellisense
3. Install MinGW
* [Click me](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/)
* Select **mingw32-gcc-g++ (bin)**, and then go to **All Packges** select **mingw32-gdb (bin)**.
* Click **Installation** -> **Apply Change**

4. Set Environment Variables
* Paste C:\MinGW\bin

5. Set folders for C++ program
* Structure like this

* Download from [here](https://github.com/YuYuTW123/VSCode_Settings) or copy codes below

    }

6. Start Coding!!
* Press **Ctrl+Shift+B** and it'll start build.
* After building succeed, enter **./(Your_file_name).exe** it'll run the file.

## Python

1. Install Python
* [Click me](https://www.python.org/)
* Check if Python is installed in terminal.

**Note.** There's a checkbox for adding Python to PATH. So basically we don't need to add Python to Environment Variables by ourselves.

2. Set folders for Python program
* Structure like this

* Download from [here](https://github.com/YuYuTW123/VSCode_Settings) or copy codes below

**settings.json**

    {
        "python.pythonPath": "C:\\Users\\User_name\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python39\\python.exe",
        "python.linting.enabled": true,
        "python.linting.pylintEnabled": true
    }

3. Install Python Extension

4. Start Coding!!
* Before executing the program, enter below codes in the terminal to install debugger.

    
    * Enter **python (Your_file_name).py** in the terminal to run the file.

## Node.js

Install Node.js
[Click me](https://nodejs.org/en/)
    
**Note.** Same as Python, the Environment Variables is already set, there's no need to set it again.

## Git

Install Git
[Click me](https://git-scm.com/download/win)

**Note.** Same as Python and Node.js, the Environment Variables is already set, there's no need to set it again.
