python environment ipykernel on VSCode home machine (macos with M1)

[byandell]

Hi, I am trying to start the redlining assignment. I want to import packages, but am told I need to install ipykernel.

Running cells with 'Python 3.13.0' requires the ipykernel package.
Run the following command to install 'ipykernel' into the Python environment.
Command: '/opt/homebrew/bin/python3 -m pip install ipykernel -U --user --force-reinstall'

I get the message

error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try brew install
xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
...

OK, then I tried pip install ipykernel both from bash shell and get

bash-3.2$ pip install ipykernel
Requirement already satisfied: ipykernel in /Users/brianyandell/miniconda3/lib/python3.12/site-packages (6.29.5)
...

No change. Message repeats. I'm stuck.

This was addressed in Discussion 576. However, it requires you to read that you need to click on the Python icon (upper right) and select the earth-analytics-Python kernel.
