    This is not a problem related to vs code. Use the terminal (shortcut STRG+J) and either change the directory using cd go/to/directory/with/file or type

    pip install -r /path/to/requirements.txt

    First you need to make sure you are using the correct python environment, if it is a virtual environment, the environment name will be shown at the top of the path in vscode, in this case you can install the library directly using the pip command.

    enter image description here

    Your requiremnts.txt needs to be prevented from being in the same path as the terminal directory so that you can use the pip install -r requiremnts.txt command. If they are not in the same path, you need to specify the path to the rehh file in the command.

    pip install -r C://full/path/to/requirements.txt

    Step 1: Open the terminal of the VS code.

    Step 2: Check for pip installed or not using the pip list.

    Step3: If pip is present use pip install -r requirements.txt

    Step3: If pip install -r path/requirements.txt
