Make sure that you have a Qodana Cloud project, and this project has at least one analysis report related to the project opened by Visual Studio Code. Also, check whether Java 11 or later is installed on your machine by running the java -version command. If necessary, install Java on your local machine.

Download and install Qodana the extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace website, or by navigating to the Extensions view in Visual Studio Code.

In the command palette, type View: Show Qodana and select the Qodana view.
