Error in VScode (Python)

Python
1

I have downloaded VScode and When I try running my code it hits me with the following error which you can also see in the image on the link at the end of the question. I’m not able to post a screenshot of it because I’m new on this platform. Thanks to whoever sees this.

[Running] python -u “c:\Users\Ryan\Desktop\Python\app.py” Python was not found but can be installed from the Microsoft Store: htttps://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?linkID=2082640

Hi. I know this is a slightly old post, but…

Just to ask the obvious question from the error message, but, did you install Python?

ALSO do you have “python3” setup as a command? Sometimes python and python3 end up pointing to different python installs. I’m guessing you have installed it but haven’t added it to your path
