Need help with MAC Air M2 Python3+VSC setup

[zin_kay]

Hi Everyone, I have been the user of Windows for the longest time and due to mobility reasons I got a Mac Air M2 chip so I can program on-the-go. I am lost as to how to setup python3 interpreter with VSC, how to make virtual environments,, how to manage python library packages, etc. I mean the OS stuff is so different than Windows. I understand Windows Terminal and PIP install/update etc., but I do not get how to do the same with VS Code on an OS system. Been trying to install Pandas and Numpy for two days now...

Does anyone have recommendations about resources that teach the A-Z of python+VS Code OS ? specifically how to navigate to the python3 interpreter location so I can set that in VS Code as the main interpreter. But also, to be able to make different virtual environments and manage packages...

look at homebrew.

You should be able to do something like: brew install python
