MacOS Catalina Version 10.15.15

I just started the course an I am having some issues with set up. The videos are filmed on PC and I am having issues compiling code, it seems impossible with the version of Visual Studios that I am using. Please help because I am getting frustrated with setup issues and I just want to be able to finally do the course. The compiler path is where I seem to be having the issue. I have followed the instructions not he previous slide but it seems that the layouts changed a little from what was shown in the example. I continue to get the red line under #include . Please help, thank you.

After looking up information on visual studios it does not seem to support C++ on Mac.

In lecture 4 it mentions you will need to install xcode on Mac which is there equivalent to visual studios. I believe lecture 5 goes over setting up the ue4 development environment and Xcode on MacOS

The course uses Visual Studio Code, is that what you installed?

I have both on my computer. there were slides that told me to also download Visual Studio Code as well. Thanks for replying by the way I really appreciate the help.

This is the problem that I am having.

Are you running MacOS with Xcode as the compiler or Windows with Visual Studios as the compiler. On MacOS you will need to have xcode setup since Visual Studios / Microsoft C++ is not supported on MacOS. If youve already installed the correct compiler to your system try folloing
