How to open a Node.JS terminal in VS Code

Question

How can I open a Node.JS terminal in the Visual Studio Code integrated terminal? I'm doing a tutorial to learn Angular and in the video the guy types in the command ng serve, but for me it says command not recognized. I noticed that my terminal it says PowerShell but on his it says node, so I thought maybe that's why it's not recognizing the command for me. But upon clicking the dropdown box to select node the option is not there for me. I do have Node.JS running but the terminal option is not available in VS Code.

I think you're looking for Command Prompt. Click Select Default Shell and choose cmd prompt and it should work now
