Hello,

Please can you paste the entire output log?
I suspect the fix is #1621 (comment), but I'll need to see the entire output to know for sure.

I have installed both npm(v6.14.8) and node(v14.15).

[Ahmeds168]

and ubuntu version is 16

[Ahmeds168]

vscode version 1.38

[Jakeeyturner]

As the prerequisites state you need to use either Node 10 or 12. Please change your version of Node and try again.

If that fails please select `Output`, make sure `Blockchain` is selected from the dropdown on the right, then copy the entire log here.

I have switched to node 10 and tried to run npm rebuild in /.vscode/extensions/ibmblockchain.ibm-blockchain-platform-1.0.39. but the problems persists

[Ahmeds168]

The issue was resolved when I uninstalled nodejs,npm,nvm(everything about node). and then I installed nodejs9 and npm and nvm latest version.
