It sounds like you don't have a virtual environment activated. In that case, assuming you are using windows and assuming you installed the official python from python.org, you need this command in the terminal window: py -m pip install But much better to learn to make and use a virtual environment. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments

I found some solution on this website:
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
If you use Visual Studio Code, you can type the following command:
C:\> py -m pip
If everything is alright, you should see the list of commands, which you can use. They are listed in your terminal, as per below.
I also would advise you to check/select the version of Python you are using:
VSCode: There is no Pip installer available in the selected environment

I am pretty sure your problems of VSCode not finding the correct version of Python will be resolved if you add your ( Python 3.6 installation ) location to the system path.
