I already have the Microsoft Python Extension installed. I’ve created a folder named newopencvproject and opened it with VS Code.
If you’ll notice, when you go to install DataSpell (note this is not a free application), it detects Anaconda:Īnd if you go to set up Visual Studio Code, you can also access Python from there. You can also launch the Ananconda Navigator, an awesome package manager to install everything you need for your project. You can start building Python Projects right away. This a standard command prompt, but tied to your Anaconda installation. Now that it’s installed, you can select the Anaconda Prompt from your start menu: I’m a JetBrains superfan, so I’ll install this even though I haven’t used it yet. Once that’s done, click next and the installation is complete. If you already have Python installed, you’ll get this message:īe sure to uninstall or deregister other versions of Python if you have it installed. I do check the box to register Anaconda as my default Python 3.9. So if you update it or it installs in a different location, things can get wonky. This can cause problems by tying your installation to the path Anaconda is in. If you select it, you will see this warning: Once your location is correct, click next. Select who you want to install it for (you or everyone) ConfigureĬhoose where you would like to install Anaconda.

I’m not a data scientist and don’t use Python for that, but I can appreciate the packaging and management Anaconda provides. Start working with thousands of open-source packages and libraries today. But in Windows, I use Anaconda to manage things.Īnaconda offers the easiest way to perform Python/R data science and machine learning on a single machine. Honestly, I build most of my Python stuff in Linux because it’s much easier to manage things. Setting up paths and pointing things is annoying. Running simple scripts is fine, but once you start creating environments, working with multiple versions of Python, etc., it can get messy. Here’s how you can install Anaconda on your Windows machine to alleviate some of the pain of running Python in Windows.
