If it does you will probably see something like “Python 3.9.7 (‘base’: conda)” in the lower-left corner of VSC (see image below). VSC should recognize Anaconda by default. We want to make sure VSC recognizes the Anaconda installation so it can access installed packages for autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and error checking. Doing so will allow Visual Studio Code to locate the Anaconda Python distribution.Ĭlick install and wait for the Anaconda installation to finish. I do recommend registering Anaconda as your default Python distribution. Later in this article, I’ll show you how to do it manually in case you change your mind. I do not recommend adding Anaconda to the PATH variable for now. I also use multiple python versions and distributions and adding them to the PATH variable can get complicated and confusing. However, I don’t like to do this because I frequently uninstall and reinstall Anaconda and it can cause problems if it is added to the PATH variable. If you add Anaconda to the PATH variable it will most likely work with Visual Studio Code with no problems. Now you will have the option to add Anaconda to the PATH environment variable. Remember the install location because you will need it later if you decide to add Anaconda to the path variable. For Windows, this will probably be C:\Users\your-user-name\anaconda3. To keep things simple, you can install Anaconda just for the current user. I like to use the default/recommended installation settings for Anaconda. Now install Anaconda (you can also install Miniconda). Once you have VSC installed, open VSC and install the Python extension and the Pylance extension (if they’re not already installed). When installing Visual Studio Code (VSC), you can keep all the default settings. To start, download and install Visual Studio Code. You can also check out this linked article for more ways to run Python code in VSC. This article will describe how to implement all three of these methods with step-by-step instructions. In Visual Studio Code you can run Python code with Anaconda by using the Anaconda Prompt, updating the Visual Studio Code workspace settings to be aware of your Anaconda installation, or adding Anaconda to the Windows Path variable. As common as these tools are for programming with Python, it can be difficult to figure out how to get them to work together. However, if you are trying to use Anaconda and Visual Studio Code together there is a good chance you have run into some problems. VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code.Visual Studio Code and Anaconda are powerful tools for Python developers. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download build from source. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license. When we build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer: Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking.
