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. After the installation is successful, you can build the C++ projects.Visual Studio Code and Anaconda are powerful tools for Python developers. Since you already have the VS 2015, you can go to Control Panel-Programs and Features and right click the VS 2015 item and Change-Modify, then check the option of those components that relates to the Visual C++ Build Tools, like Visual C++, Windows SDK… then install them. Therefore, it asks you to uninstall your existing VS 2015 when you tried to install the Visual C++ build tools using the standalone installer. The Build Tools give you a way to install the tools you need on your build machines without the IDE you don’t need.īecause these components are the same as the ones installed by the Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 setup, you cannot install the Visual C++ Build Tools on a machine that already has Visual Studio 2015 installed. You can check Announcing the official release of the Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 and from this blog, we can know that the Build Tools are the same C++ tools that you get with Visual Studio 2015 but they come in a scriptable standalone installer that only lays down the tools you need to build C++ projects.
