How to fix: Please update includePath. Cannot open source file on VSCode

How to fix "Please update includePath.#include errors detected. Cannot open source file" error on VSCode? In this video, it also shows how to setup C/C++ development projects on visual studio code.

Steps to fix it:
***********************************************
With visual studio code C++ extension version 0.17.0 and higher:

We continue to support Windows-style paths for these properties as outlined in the archived instructions if you prefer to use those.

{
"name": "WSL",
"intelliSenseMode": "gcc-x64",
"compilerPath": "/usr/bin/gcc",
"includePath": [
"${workspaceFolder}/**"
],
"defines": [],
"cStandard": "c11",
"cppStandard": "c++17"
}
***********************************************************

Earlier versions of the extension:
If you are on a build of Windows prior to 17110 and you have an older version of the C/C++ extension installed, use these instructions instead.
**************************************************

If you haven't installed visual studio code on Ubuntu or on windows, checkout the below videos. Following videos shall show you how to download, install vscode, its recommended extensions and quick walkthough:

sudo : The term 'sudo' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or
if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I think i might be missing a step.. When copying the compiler path, what are you copying? don't see you copy anything in the video. I changed the compiler path to g++ and now it's giving me

main.cpp:1:10: fatal error: iostream: no such file or directory

not sure where to go from here, brand new to ubuntu, anyone got any tips?

[feliperaulino]

Thanks, man!! After a day I found this video and it solved my problem

[andylai]

Hi KludgeBot, I typed what you typed in the terminal, but the terminal responsed that it can't define anything and called me to try again, I tried again for thousands of times but I can't still do like what your video had done. Could you please help me to deal with it? Thanks! :) (sorry for wrong grammar)
