I also encountered this issue. Did the following and it got fixed.

1. Open your computer terminal (not VSCode terminal) and type node --version to ensure you have node installed. If not, then install node using nvm.
2. Then head to your bash file (eg .bashrc, .bash_profile, .profile) and add the PATH:

 [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm 
 [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"

4. Restart your VSCode terminal and it should be fine.
