How Do I Fix The Error Below to Run Simple Python Programs? Error In VSCode Terminal

Question

I am getting the error code below in Visual Studio Code Terminal when I try to run a simple "Hello World" python program. I previously had installed Anaconda and would like to continue now without it. I did a Windows Reset (with cloud installation) but I'm still getting this message. Visual Studio Code is finding the Python interpreter.

&: The term 'C:\Users\Administrator\anaconda3\Scripts\conda.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Answer 1

VS Code cannot find your conda, since it is not in your PATH. You might add it to your PATH (by reinstalling or adding it in Windows settings) - or:

Check if you can change your Python interpreter to something VSCode can find (Ctrl + Shift + P, start typing "Python Select Interpreter" until you can choose it from the menu).
