Hello, I am new to python, I am trying to install the pylint linter because mosh said this is the linter that python extension uses by default and it is the most popular but cant find the pylint. I am using the VScode editor version 2021. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/codewithmosh/original/2X/8/8118814740a888cbfc423ede008fbccc1a1851b3.png) ---

Okay head towards the View on the Menu bar then click on the Command palette then search for select linter then click the select linter, after that you will see a series of linters then click pylint then you will receive a notification telling you to install pylint. That is all. I hope this helps ---

Thank you. I got the popup and have it install. It’s still not running as it shows in the video but I’m thankful to have it installed at least.
