I’m a beginner and trying to install ESP-IDF in VS Code on macOS; unfortunately, I’m not able to execute

ESP-IDF: Configure ESP-IDF Extension
Or
ESP-IDF: SDK Configuration Editor
By pressing Cmd+shift+p
No sooner I try to execute these commands than I get an error message.

Hi @giritime Seems that you are using an older version of the extension. Please remove it and try to get the latest version with many fixes. (v2.1.0)

Please review the VS Code extension documentation
