Visual Studio Python “Failed to launch the Python Process, please validate the path ‘python” & Error: spawn python ENOENT

I just downloaded Python and Visual Studio. I’m trying to test the debugging feature for a simple “Hello World” script and I’m receiving this error:

Failed to launch the Python Process, please validate the path ‘python’

followed by this in the debug console:

Error: spawn python ENOENT

Could someone please help me out and tell me how to fix this?

I’m running on windows 10.

Thanks!
