I downloaded a python library, and it still says that the library cannot be found

Question

I am using Windows 11, Visual Studio Code, Python version 3.11.2 and I am trying to download the matplotlib. I was following the tutorial of this link: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial It was helpful for the most part, but then when I downloaded the library, it said: " warning: the script f2py.exe is installed in 'c:\python\python37\scripts' which is not on path. " And when I try download it again, it says that the parts are still there, but when I see the "Problems" tab, it says: " Import "matplotlib.pyplot" could not be resolved from source " I have no clue on how to fix this issue and I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem.

I did find this thing about opening "environment variables", but nothing changed and it wasn't very helpful. f2py.exe is somewhere, but the directory isn't on path

You need to configure pip and python to be using the same version. If pip installs to the Python 3.7 directory, then it won't be available in Python 3.11.

how can you tell what version of pip you are using? – Santiago Rivas May 14 '23 at 03:06
@SantiagoRivas You can use `pip --version` – Michael M. May 14 '23 at 03:08
For some reason I was able to download the library without pip, so it says it doesn't have pip installed – Santiago Rivas May 14 '23 at 03:18
