This is Windows telling you that it cannot find Terraform, meaning you either haven’t installed it (installing the VSCode plugin doesn’t install Terraform itself), or you haven’t installed it correctly.

Be sure to carefully follow the instructions here.

Also, depending upon what you want to practice, you may also want to install LocalStack, which will let you practice terraform with an emulated AWS cluster behind it. We use this for our intro-to-terraform labs, and you may find it useful to run it locally as well. A very cool tool for learning both terraform and AWS.
