How do I install pandas into Visual Studio Code?

Question

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.

Answer 1

I think the previous answers are very well put already. I am just going 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 a terminal

2. type pip install pandas

3. restart your Visual Studio Code

Answer 2

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 the Python executable's location has been added to PATH.

Then, to install pandas, just simply do:

pip install pandas
