![]() Doing so will allow Visual Studio Code to locate the Anaconda Python distribution.Ĭlick install and wait for the Anaconda installation to finish. I do recommend registering Anaconda as your default Python distribution. Later in this article, I’ll show you how to do it manually in case you change your mind. I do not recommend adding Anaconda to the PATH variable for now. I also use multiple python versions and distributions and adding them to the PATH variable can get complicated and confusing. ![]() However, I don’t like to do this because I frequently uninstall and reinstall Anaconda and it can cause problems if it is added to the PATH variable. If you add Anaconda to the PATH variable it will most likely work with Visual Studio Code with no problems. Now you will have the option to add Anaconda to the PATH environment variable. Remember the install location because you will need it later if you decide to add Anaconda to the path variable. For Windows, this will probably be C:\Users\your-user-name\anaconda3. To keep things simple, you can install Anaconda just for the current user. I like to use the default/recommended installation settings for Anaconda. Now install Anaconda (you can also install Miniconda). Once you have VSC installed, open VSC and install the Python extension and the Pylance extension (if they’re not already installed). When installing Visual Studio Code (VSC), you can keep all the default settings. To start, download and install Visual Studio Code. You can also check out this linked article for more ways to run Python code in VSC. This article will describe how to implement all three of these methods with step-by-step instructions. In Visual Studio Code you can run Python code with Anaconda by using the Anaconda Prompt, updating the Visual Studio Code workspace settings to be aware of your Anaconda installation, or adding Anaconda to the Windows Path variable. As common as these tools are for programming with Python, it can be difficult to figure out how to get them to work together. However, if you are trying to use Anaconda and Visual Studio Code together there is a good chance you have run into some problems. Select that environment.Visual Studio Code and Anaconda are powerful tools for Python developers. If you followed these steps, you should only see one interpreter with python version number and ending with (‘base’: conda). Once you launched VS code, press “ctrl shift P” (On Windows) to open python interpreter window.From the navigator main screen, launch VS code.Now that we installed Anaconda and VS code, to setup and use Anaconda as an interpreter in VS code. Step 3: Setting and configuring Anaconda with Visual Studio Code ![]() If you already have VS code installed, the ‘install’ button will be written as ‘launch’. This will install the VS code in your system. Step 2: Installing Visual Studio Code (VS code)įirst about the VS code, it is an IDE and a code editor that allows to work better using its integrated environment and vast extension packages for better working.Īnaconda navigator comes allows you to install VS code right from the home page, you just need to select “install” button below the VS code to do so. You can install other libraries and recommended items from the page by selecting “Install” button located below respective libraries. In the main page, you can see Anaconda already has installed few libraries such as Jupyter Notebook etc. If you successfully installed the Anaconda, you can access “Anaconda Navigator” from the start menu on Windows OS. After installing Anaconda, start Anaconda Navigator. Sometimes Python packages require a specific version of Python and so I prefer to download with the latest version of the python - hence we will use Python 3.7. You will be able to download Anaconda with Python 3.7 and Python 2.7. ![]() Go to the Anaconda website and download the latest version of Anaconda for your platform. I’m providing steps on how to complete Anaconda integration with VS code so that you can run and execute Python files using Anaconda and also run conda commands within VS code itself. I’ve spent hours searching for a fix and here’s how I’ve fixed the errors and can now run Anaconda environments within VS code. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.” “ conda : The term ‘conda’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. But after trying few articles, I’ve faced issues with running conda within Visual Studio Code due to the message: I know there are already existing articles on how to setup Anaconda with Visual Studio Code. I’ve recently setup Visual studio code IDE for my machine learning projects using Anacondas(more about that below). Setting up Visual Studio Code for Machine learning projects
