I have followed the attached instructions to set julia up. When opening VS Code, I type \>julia start REPL, and get this screenshotted message in the bottom right of my screen. I have tried to uninstall, and reinstall the files multiple times and it is still not working for me.

Any help would be appreciated!

What happens if you just start the Pumas application directly from the Desktop/Applications folder?

So something is off with your settings.json in VSCode. Could you share the content here?

I guess you used to have version 2.6.0 installed. Please try to change `2.6.0` to `2.6.1` in the paths and see if it works.
