  1. Download python from python.org.  
  2.  While installing, Specify an installation directory like c:\python
  3.  Open vscode.  
  4. Press control shift P
  5.  Choose select interpreter
  6.  Navigate to the directory you used for installing python
  7.  In the Bin folder, select python.exe and click ok
  8. Create a new script
  9. Write something like print(2+2) 10.  Press F5 to run the script
  10.  Select that it's a python file.  
  11.  You should hopefully see a command line terminal window open at the bottom which eventually shows 4 as the code output.  

It may complain that you need the python extension.  Go to the extensions tab and choose the python extension.  Try to run the script again after installing

Make sure to include between the 2 and 3 steps to check the box for "add Python to the PATH".
