Latex Workshop VSCode Issue with Minted

Question

I am trying to compile a document with the minted package. I am using VSCode LaTeX workshop and compiling using LuaLaTeX.

When I try to compile I get the following error

Package minted Error: You must have pygmentize installed to use this package.

I have pygments installed. When I run pygmentize -V in the terminal I get

Pygments version 2.7.3, (c) 2006-2020 by Georg Brandl.

A few other things to note:

• I am using WSL with Ubuntu 20.04
• I am compiling using LuaLaTex but I also tried with pdflatex, still doesn't work
• I've add the shell escape flag to all the places mentioned here
• I've tried using the [cache=false] option of the minted package
• I found this post here on maybe a similar issue? I am not sure if there is a difference between the pygments package you get when you do sudo apt-get install python3-pygments vs what you get when you do conda install pygments

If it would help, below are LaTeX recipes from my settings.json. Maybe I am missing something there?
