I'm new to VS code and python. When I tried to use interactive window I failed to install ipykernel. I am using Mac system and has already installed Jupyter and python in vs code. I am using conda environment and looked for some solutions but they didn't work. When I tried to run interactive window it showed: Running cells with 'Python 3.13.3' requires the ipykernel package. Create a Python Environment with the required packages. Or install 'ipykernel' using the command: '/usr/local/bin/python3 -m pip install ipykernel -U --user --force-reinstall' I then tried to install it but it seems that it was already installed: python %
