Title: Troubleshooting "Python not found" in VSCode Code Runner: A Step-by-Step Guide
Introduction:
Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is a popular code editor with a vast extension ecosystem. One commonly used extension for running code within VSCode is Code Runner. However, users may encounter issues with the "Python not found" error message when attempting to run Python scripts using Code Runner. This tutorial aims to guide you through the troubleshooting process and provide solutions to resolve the issue.
Step 1: Install Python:
Step 2: Verify Python Installation:
Open a terminal in VSCode and type the following command to verify that Python is installed and accessible from the command line:

Step 4: Specify Python Path:
This setting ensures that Code Runner uses the "python3" command when running Python files. Save the changes and attempt to run your Python script once more.
Step 5: Adjusting Global User Settings:

Replace "/path/to/your/python3" with the actual path to your Python executable. Save the changes and attempt to run your Python script again.
Conclusion:
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the "Python not found" issue in VSCode Code Runner. Ensure that Python is correctly installed, configured in your system's PATH, and adj
