UPDATE - Solution found

With thanks to Alan I was able to resolve the issue. My two problems were.

1. I didn't know how to set the correct paths in LaTeX Workshop on VSCode
2. I hadn't corrrectly run the perl installation command from the tex-live installation page

Just a note to anyone struggling with the installation, when you get to the part with the perl script on this page. It will take at least 20 minutes - 40 minutes to download the necessary dependencies. I thought I had done something wrong, but in the end it all works now!

A big thanks to Alan for his help.

Original Issue

I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm trying to make sense of a lot of new processes... I would like to view .tex files in VSCodes LaTeX Workshop.

I read this article which produces the unsuccessful result I'm getting. There are clues in it, but nothing crystal clear.
