Python install in Bash but not in windows cmd

Question

I am new to python and programming languages. I downloaded the bash terminal to windows and I see that python already installs:

I try to run python in the cmd for windows and it does not work, it makes the same in Visual Studio Code

What do I need to do so I can run python in Visual Studio Code, I do not want to reinstall python in windows because I think it will create duplicates

Answer 1

no need to reinstall I'm guessing that you path environment differs to one that you have in bash you have couple of options

• you can change vscode default shell
• copy output of which python from bash and run set PATH=%PATH%;{output_of_which_python_in_bash}
