I've been learning to code for a few years now and am starting my own projects in my spare time. Lately, I've faced challenges with installing libraries—specifically, they seem to install correctly, but my VSCode doesn't recognize them. I've read through various forums, but it's clear I need a better understanding of how library installation works, where these libraries are stored, and how software like Python finds them. I'm looking for resources that could help me grasp these concepts better. By the way, I'm working with Python on a Linux system at home, but most of the project development has been done on a Windows school computer.

It's good that you're diving into this! Every programming language has its quirks about managing libraries. For Python, I recommend checking out online courses or tutorials on sites like Codecademy or freeCodeCamp that cover package management. Additionally, looking up videos on how to set up virtual environments could really help, especially since you’re switching between Windows and Linux. Just remember to ensure your environment paths are set correctly!
It can be a bit tricky! The way Python handles library installations is through package managers like `pip`. When you install a library, it typically goes into a specific directory that Python knows to look in. To troubleshoot issues where VSCode can't find your libraries, make sure the interpreter selected in VSCode matches the version of Python where you installed the libraries. A good resource to start with is the official Python documentation on `pip` and virtual environments. They explain everything from installation to libraries management really clearly.
