KleverChain IDE Extension for Visual Studio Code: Installation Guide

The video linked in the documentation was created for Linux users, but it looks like you’re on Windows.
For Windows, we have a dedicated step-by-step guide available here:

:link: How to set up Klever Smart Contracts on Windows (via WSL)

This tutorial is very comprehensive — it covers:

  • How to install and configure WSL (Linux environment on Windows)
  • How to connect VSCode to your WSL environment
  • How to set up the Klever IDE extension
  • How to deploy a basic smart contract to verify that everything works

:camera_with_flash: About the screenshot you shared:

It looks like you are running VSCode directly in the Windows environment, not inside WSL.
This causes two main issues:

  1. Incorrect executable path:
    Your terminal is trying to access WSL, but the extension is still looking for files in a Windows path (C:/Users/...) instead of a Linux path (/home/...).

  2. Outdated executables:
    When running in Windows, the extension downloads a deprecated version of the tools.
    Once you follow the tutorial and run everything inside WSL, the extension will detect the correct environment and fetch the latest supported version.


Let me know once you’ve followed the tutorial, or if you’d like help with any of the steps! I’m happy to assist you :rocket:
