This error is not from RIDE, but from robot. Maybe you are missing the import of SeleniumLibrary in you test suite, like:
*** Settings ***
Library SeleniumLibrary
Or you did not installed it with:
pip install robotframework-seleniumlibrary
(and you will also need the browser’s corresponding webdriver placed in a directory in %PATH% system variable)
If this would be the case of failed import of the library, then you should have the import error in RIDE->Tools->View RIDE Log.

Neither tutorial has the need to import that library
So how about pointing me to a tutorial for ROBOT/RIDE that is complete so I can get past these set up issues?
Did you experimented adding the import?
In the screenshots of the tutorial, we can see the import of SeleniumLibrary.
But, since you are learning, the first option you should see is the User Guide. Also, the SeleniumLibrary documentation, mentions how to use it.
Nothing worked, not in PyCharm, VS Code or RIDE. All had visibility issues in seeing SeleniumLibrary or SerialLibrary.
Uninstalled all IDEs and libraries and started from scratch with only Python 3.10 and Pip still installed. Currently reinstalling and stepping thru LinkedIn Learning tutorial ‘Robot Framework Test Automation: Level 1 (Selenium)’ to see what might have been missed on following older tutorials.
Here is an example. If you have a good setup, libraries and chromedriver correctly setup, you just save to a file (“filename.robot”) and the run from command window (no need for IDEs):
robot filename.robot
