How can I check if Pylint is successfully installed and configured in Visual Studio Code?

I have already set "Python: enable linting", but it seems to not be working. I ran code in the below problem field. Can someone explain what's going on in the below problem field?

  1. Check if Pylint is installed successfully:

    As a Python code analysis toolkit, Pylint is stored in the Python environment as a Pylint module, so we can use "pip show pylint" in the Visual Studio Code terminal to check its installation:

  2. The use of Pylint in Visual Studio Code:

    1. Install Pylint (pip install pylint).

    2. Select Pylint.

    3. Enable Pylint.

    4. Run (F1, Python: Run Linting)

  • `pip3 show pylint` on Ubuntu (tried on [Ubuntu MATE 20.04](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_MATE#Releases) (Focal Fossa)) - "pip3", not "pip". `pip show pylint` results in *"Command 'pip' not found, but there are 18 similar ones."* (including in a Visual Studio Code environment). – Peter Mortensen Jan 12 '21 at 22:34
