If any of you encounter the error "error: failed to prepare transaction (could not find database)" when executing "pacman -Su", just execute the command "pacman -Syy", then proceed with executing "pacman -Su". This tutorial is awesome! Definitely helped in setting up my programming environment for C++ in VS Code. I swear Indian tutorials in KZbin are so underrated.

I don't often comment on these types of videos but I must say that you are down to earth and get straight to the point, and I appreciate that greatly. I was able to easily follow your instructions with no issues whatsoever, and I really am thankful that you went the extra step of including the commands in the description. Thank you so much!

[@heat7060]

It's not safe to directly copy commands from the description box as they're outdated, you should do like him copy them from the terminal.

[@saumyahadani640]

@@LearningLad 1 suggestion is, update the commands in the description box. The versions and the commands have changed a lot since 1 and half yr back. While not making a new video is fine, you can update the commands in the description of this video to reflect the new versions or make a comment and pin it here with the new commands.

[@ioneiroi8350]

This also worked for me! To provide a little clarification because it took me a second, go to Environment Variables just as instructed in the video. Instead of clcking on "Path" under System variables at the bottom, look at the top in the area labeled "User variables for [insert name]". From there, click on the "Path" option and copy in the same thing the video instructs (or just make a new variable with that path as the value)
