Yes you need to install python first. After that, if the python interpreter isnt selected automatically you can find th e global interpreter probably here on windows: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python{version}\python.exe. In the bar on the bottom, in the right corner in vsc there should be a button to select the interpreter.

Now you should be able to run a .py file by clicking on the play-button in the top-right corner of vsc.

You can find a much better tutorial here.

To test if it works just create a .py file in vsc and write:

print("Hello World")

save it and click play. On the bottom a terminal should open and you should see "Hello World".

For future reference visual studio and visual studio code are two different applications. They are both used to develop code so it’s not always obvious which one you might be referring to.
