I want to read an excel csv file, and after researching, I realized I need to import pandas as pd. Is there a way to install it into the visual studio code? I have tried typing import pandas as pd, but it shows a red line. I'm still new to python.

Thank you

As pandas is a Python library, you can install it using pip - the Python's package management system. If you are using Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4, pip is already installed with your Python. Ensure that Python has been added to PATH

Then, to install pandas, just simply do:

$ pip install pandas

I think the above answers are very well put already. just to add to that.

Windows:

1.open cmd

2.type python -m pip install pandas

3.restart your visual studio code

Linux or macOS:

1.open terminal

2.type pip install pandas

3.restart your visual studio code

For anyone else in a similar situation, I'd recommend following along with this VS Code official tutorial.

It guides you to use Conda instead of Pip, and setup a Python environment, along with installing various packages like Pandas, Jupyter, etc.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/datascience/data-science-tutorial

For example, after installing the Python extension for VSCode and Miniconda or Anaconda:

conda create -n myenv python=3.9 pandas

I also had the same question. As a newbie, I did not understand the answer. Perhaps these notes will help others in the same boat.

You need to type this into command prompt (not visual studio or python): pip install pandas

Before you do that, you must "Ensure that Python has been added to PATH". This did not make sense to me, but there are pages on this if you Google.

Also useful to know: CMD and Terminal = Command Prompt (please correct me if that's not true).

Hopefully this helps others. Thanks

You need to start off by installing Anaconda in order to create an environment for Pandas; you can manage this environment with Anaconda. Go to your terminal then run conda create -n myenv python=3.9 pandas jupyter seaborn scikit-learn keras tensorflow. It will create environments for all of the libraries mentioned above. PS : this is an old post, please check python's latest version

After that click on your Kernel1 (top right) and chose the environment that is associated with Anaconda
