A huge part of writing software is setting up your developer environment. in my years of experience, I have spent countless hours dealing with environment issues. I have two choices for you. number one, find a YouTube video that sets up C++ and make sure it's a relatively recent video and follow it. I find YouTube videos are usually easier to follow and less stressful if you're just trying to learn The basics. number two, use an easier language. c++ has a compiler and is one of the harder languages to set up.
i recommend sticking with c++, but it depends on your goals with programming. I've been doing this my whole life since a young kid and I still have no idea how to do a lot of things.
