Hi, I am very new to computer science and I need some help with importing torch into VSC. I am unsure why but I can only import torch in the terminal, not into the main. ![1](https://discuss.pytorch.org/uploads/default/original/3X/5/2/526e5ad40dc3101bc3c761c9a8b40632efbfb874.png) ---

You have two Python environments, one based on conda and other installed by VS. And PyTorch is installed in the first one. Since you are using VS Code, you could first install the Python extension (Press ctrl+shift+x and type in `Python`) and then in the left side of the status bar, it will let you select the preferred python environment. ---

![image](https://discuss.pytorch.org/uploads/default/original/3X/e/c/ec8467402c691f3c9bb1888d39950a857ea80bcb.png) I already have the python extension installed. Previously when I was trying out pytorch, it was working normally. Until when I was running some image recognition codes, It prompt me to install a few more extension (which I did), and after installing, my python env doesn’t detect torch anymore. Any idea what happened? ---
