Gcc compiler won't work with me

I'm learning c++ on vs code but what came up first thing is the god damn compiler. It complains that it can't find the launch program but the tutorial didn't show what the launch program was either. I ran up some commands in the terminal to check that I installed the compiler right, and I did. No matter what I do, it complains about not finding the launch program. What can I do to fix this?


The exact message it shows:

launch: program " does not exist.


Then it asks if I want to open launch.json or cancel
