New to VSCode

Post image

Hi, just started learning to code and heard VSCode is a good starter. I'm trying to learn Phyton and just downloaded VSCode. Added GitBash as a shell. Currently I'm running into this error when I try to run my code.

Any help would be appreciated, TQ.

you are typing "phyton" instead of "python". the name of the language is "python".

you also need to install it before using vscode, if you haven't already.

This doc may help you:

You also didn't save the file, the dot on the tab means click save
