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:

🔗 [How to set up Klever Smart Contracts on Windows (via WSL)](https://forum.klever.org/t/how-to-set-up-klever-smart-contracts-on-windows-step-by-step-guide/3657)

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

### 📸 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 **Outdated executables:**  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**.
