How to use pip with Visual Studio Code

Question

I have python 3.6 installed, I have a python extension installed on Visual Studio code but I still can't use pip on Visual Studio code. It says it is not a recognised command. Any help please?

Update: I tried installing pip manually but a file in python2.7 keeps stopping. What's bothersome is that I uninstalled python 2.7 ages ago and I've currently removed every folder with it but python-V still says I have python2.7.6 installed.

I'm on windows 10

I found some solution on this website:

If you use Visual Studio Code, you can type the following command:

   C:\> py -m pip

If everything is alright, you should see the list of commands, which you can use. They are listed in your terminal, as per below.

I also would advise you to check/select the version of Python you are using:

VSCode: There is no Pip installer available in the selected environment
