Adding path of downloaded Python to Visual Studio Code

Question

Just gone through the process of setting up python and all the installs using cmd and now i want to use

brownie bake

To clone some code and it gives errors as it cant locate brownie... I've set environmental variables for the path (that's how I got it to work in cmd)... I've installed the python extension and chose the python.exe file in my new install in the compiler by clicking the bottom left... How can I make visual studios Code use only the python and all library's I installed?

if i run

python

in the terminal it opens up windows store for python install but i can run my version by using

py

Answer 1

First, Disable the python command to open the windows store:

Search Manage app execution aliases and unselect App Installer of Python:

Second, You need to check which python you have installed your packages to:

And make sure in the VSCode you have selected the right interpreter(In the following picture, they are different).
