If you are new to developing Umbraco, i would really recommend WebMatrix since it gets you started pretty quickly. You can even install Umbraco directly from within WebMatrix.
Umbraco recommends WebMatrix on their installer page, but I saw that Microsoft recommends VC Code on that page, but you find a link to the WebMatrix installer a little further down on this page: https://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/
As soon as you have WebMatrix installed on your computer, just right click on the un-zipped Umbraco folder and click "Open as a Web Site.." :
or from WebMatrix welcome page. Click "New" > "App Gallery" > "Umbraco CMS".
and run the application from WebMatrix, you will then see the Umbraco installer.
I have not gained that much experience with Visual studio code yet but I don't think it's currently possibly to install Umbraco using that editor - But luckily it's still possible to download Webmatrix as Dennis pointed out above :-)

I followed the guide and it said:

Hi Mark and welcome to the Umbraco developer forum :)
In addition to Dennis nice post above I would just like to mention that you can see some documentation on how to install Umbraco in the documentation section of the forum as well - You can find it here https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Getting-Started/Setup/Install/
