  Make sure the path to the Nelson executable is added to either the PATH environment variable or the NELSON_RUNTIME_PATH environment variable. You can also set the nelson.runtimePath setting inside VS Code to point directly to the executable. On Windows, starting with version 1.11, NELSON_RUNTIME_PATH is automatically configured during installation.

First run

1. Install Nelson from the Nelson project.
2. If VS Code cannot find Nelson automatically, run Nelson: Select Runtime Path from the Command Palette and choose the Nelson executable.
3. Run Nelson: Open REPL to start an interactive Nelson terminal.
4. Open a .m file and use Nelson: Run Active File from the editor title button, Command Palette, or context menu.
5. Select a few lines and run Nelson: Run Selection in REPL to send just that code to the Nelson terminal.

When editing Nelson files, the status bar shows whether Nelson is using PATH or a configured runtime. Click it to open the REPL or update the runtime path.
