Beautiful explanation. Saved me from lots of lost time and unnecessary frustration

Very clear explanation. It solved the issue why I couldnt use Anaconda in VSC. Thank you very much.

Best explanation I've seen after days of digging around the net. Much appreciated.

Spent hours trying to make it work before finding your video! Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot. Much needed help. Just wasted 1 whole day on this to get working before founding this video.

Hello, can you please tell me how to get that "python" as an output interpreter instead of the default "powershell". What settings do I need? Please tell me this.

Hi,

Thanks for the video. However, even after setting the environment setting as shown above, I am getting an "Exception has occured: ImportError", "Importing the numpy c-extensions failed". I also tried to make it work by opening VS Code from within Anaconda Navigator, then it gives me a pop-up message stating "Duplicate entries in env", and asks me to open "Launch.json". Please advise, how I may be able to solve the issue.

Thanks in advance.

the command prompt made the whole difference for me, thanks man

Wasted 5 hours on select default shell, unbelievable... Thanks for posting, not sure how I would have been without this. But also darn you computer world, why make things so difficult.

(p.s. I also have that return bug when it autocompletes when you want to go to new line instead)

I don't have any idea as to what you did on this video but it worked uno. Thanks.

8:49 moving to command prompt worked for me (no restart in my case). Thanx for the help

[arewenotsenal]

Thanks a lot man, really helpful even now

[lucatirel]

He solves the problem of "conda is not recognized bla bla

[nicholaswhite]

This probably should have been obvious but after having issues importing packages with the vscode/anaconda set up I found that opening vscode from the anaconda navigator rather than directly opening vscode from my desktop fixed the issue

[tswannack]

Selecting the cmd prompt through 'Select Default Option' worked for me. Thanks for this video!
