Downloaded Python but it is Not Working on VS Code

Question

I installed Python 3.10 but am getting the error that Python is not installed (see image below) when I try to run Python in VS Code. I also downloaded the current curated set of SSL root certificates ('certifi') as recommended on the Python installation.

What am I missing here? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Python is not installed error

Answer 1

Here are the things to do while installing:

• Ensure that both the Install launcher for all users (recommended) and the Add Python 3.9 to PATH checkboxes at the bottom are checked: Usally only first is checked by default.

(Check Add python also)

• Click on Install Now button.
• If not followed the above steps, Completely uninstall and reinstall the python.
• Also see Python installation guide and Uninstalling python guide.

Answer 2

Bro when you download python 3.10 make sure that you tick the add to path option when downloading.
