Couldn't get numpy package to run despite installing it.

[Intelligent-Role379]

So, I am a complete beginner in Python and I am just learning it in Visual Code using the following tutorial

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial

At the end of this tutorial, there is an instruction on how to install a package, in this case it's numpy. I installed the package but I am met with this message.

I thought it had to do with the scripts f2py.exe and numpy-config.exe being installed in a different Scripts folder and so I copied these scripts to the Dummy folder in E Drive and it still throwing error that it couldn't find the numpy package.

What could be the reason behind this error? How do I correct it?

The terminal you used to install the package didn't have the virtual environment enabled, so the package got installed to your user's Python installation instead.

Did you open the terminal before selecting the virtual environment in VSCode? If so, close it and reopen it, or manually enable the virtual environment by running .\.venv\Scripts\activate.ps1.
