I m trying to connect Linkedin to my Python. and I m trying to connect Linkedin to my Python. and I m trying to run these in Visual Studio

For the below line,

$ pip install python-linkedin

it keeps throwing syntax error, not reading that $pip correctly.

I followed few videos and posts on Stackoverflow, and they suggested to click on "View" -> "Tools" -> Python environments, but I can`t find this "Tool" and Python environments from View option

Is there any alternative solutions to this?

You need to install Python support for VS to work with python.

Once you do that you should be able to see the python environment tab. It would look like this:

Another potential issue is that pip for python3.x is usually installed as pip3.x, not pip, so if you are using python 3x, you would need to change your settings.json accordingly.
