+VScode is available on the cluster in the Web portal or through an ssh connection from your local VScode software. See [[../connecting_to_the_system/connecting_via_vsc]] for details on the connection methods.
 When using VScode to develop your software on the cluster it is best to make use of virtual environments.

+Create and activate a virtual environment in the expected ''.venv'' location.
+<code>
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+</code>
+You will probably get a pop-up from VScode that it noticed the new .venv. It will offer to select it for this project. You can say yes, to switch to this environment.
+You can also select the Python version from the virtual environment using the Python version selection box at the bottom right of the VScode window.
+After this you can proceed to install packages into the virtual environment using pip in the "Terminal" window, e.g.:
+<code>
+pip install matplotlib
