Final answer:
To install NumPy in Visual Studio Code on Windows, open the terminal in Visual Studio Code and run 'pip install numpy'.
Ensure that the correct version of pip is used if multiple Python versions are installed or if you are working in a virtual environment.
Step-by-step explanation:
To install NumPy in Visual Studio Code on Windows, first, ensure you have Python and Visual Studio Code installed. Open Visual Studio Code, and then open a terminal within the IDE by going to View > Terminal or using the shortcut Ctrl+` (backtick). In the terminal, type the following command:
pip install numpy
Press Enter to run the command. Once the installation is complete, you can import NumPy in your Python scripts with the line:
import numpy as np
If you have multiple Python versions installed or you are using a virtual environment, make sure you're using the correct pip version corresponding to your Python environment. Additionally, if you face any permission issues, you might need to run the command as an administrator or add --user to install NumPy in the user directory:
pip install numpy --user
