VSCode: There is no Pip installer available in the selected environment
On Ubuntu16.04, I worked with Python3 in vscode and
apt-get install python3-pip
solves my problem.
That's because I discover that: Under my terminal, I type the pip -V. It displays it's for Python2, not for Python3.
Man you can only change the interpreter.
Go in (ctrl + shift + p), then type Python: Select Interpreter, this way you choose the version that your extension needs.
This worked for me.
I have multiple python versions:
2.7
3.6
3.7
- Tell the vscode/ visual studio code, which version to use:
press the following (Show All Commands): Ctrl + Shift + P
paste the following: Python: Select Interpreter
Select one of the version that it shows, I have selected python 3.7.3 64-bit
- Update python path in settings:
press Ctrl + , to open Settings
search for python.pythonPath
change python to /usr/bin/python3.7
Note: this may not be needed, however, make sure /usr/bin/python3.7 really exists for you, you may have at a different path like /usr/local/bin/python3.7, etc.
- I had pip but it was 2.7, but since I am choosing python 3, it's pip needs to be installed
Run the following command in Terminal: apt-get install python3-pip
- Restart vscode
With the above steps, all issues got resolved. Hope that helps.
