I am new to coding so I'm not sure where to even start in correcting this. I've reached out to my teacher for help, but he hasn't gotten back to me and I really wanted to finish this assignment tonight so if anyone could help I would be forever grateful.
I followed the steps my teacher provided in order to install pytest on the command prompt, but when I try typing pytest --version it doesn't recognize pytest there either.
I tried going to the Command Palette and selecting the Python Interpreter based on a reddit thread I found suggesting it and restarted VS Code, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
You could select your python interpreter in VSCode by shortcuts "Ctrl+Shift+P" and type "Python: Select Interpreter" and choose the python interpreter which you installed the package in.
If it still not work, you could run command
pip install pytestin the terminal to install the package in the current interpreter.
