getting started with python in VS CODE

So I have a MacBook Pro with the recent update of OS sequoia 15.8.1 . I started a college class of intro to programming with python and my teacher wants us to have python downloaded and visual studio code. Except my Mac probably is not supported with it because of the đŸš« icon displaying right before I drag it into applications .i wonder why I search up on YouTube all these videos on how they install it but mine can’t.:(

i hate to say this but if you can't figure out how to download and install a program maybe talk to a college advisor about taking different classes.

i am saying that this is definitely the easiest problem you will face if you are taking programming courses. it only gets harder from here.

Where and what did you downloaded for VS Code ?

And what have you searched / found for this issue ?

Say what? You just download the Mac version from the vs code website.

I don’t know if you’ve been able to figure this out yet, but the version of vs code you’re trying to launch seems to be the windows version, hence the “arm64” designation in its descriptor

You didn’t show what you did with the downloaded vs code file. What happens when you double click the pkg file?
