If you have created a new Python based project, you now need to create a virtual environment. You lack the permissions on college machines to install any python modules, on your own machines virtual environments are a good idea for controlling which python modules are installed for which python projects.
New Virtual Environment
In the solution explorer for your new project:
You will be able to right click on Python Environments and select 'Add Virtual Environment':
You will need to give the environment a name, this is called 'MyEnv':
You should also select the version of python, select the highest available.
Using Virtual Environment
In college, you can't use the Visual Studio option to install a package into your virtual environment. This seems to be a permission issue, and you also can't run a command prompt to actually enter the code yourself.
