Linter Pylint not installed

Question

When I am trying to run python code in Microsoft Visual Studio Code, I am getting an error:

"Linter pylint is not installed"

I have already installed:

The VS Code Python extension
Python3
Anaconda
 

How can I install pylint?

Answer 1

Try the following steps:

1. Open a terminal (ctrl+~)
2. Run the command pip install pylint
 

If that doesn't work: On the off chance you've configured a non-default python path for your editor, you'll need to match that python's install location with the pip executable you're calling from the terminal.
