If you're a budding developer creating a Discord bot, you might encounter some frustrating issues while trying to install essential Python packages like requests and discord.py. This guide will help you troubleshoot these problems to ensure your bot runs smoothly.

The Problem: Installation Confusion

You have installed Visual Studio Code and are using Python 3.11 to build your Discord bot, but you're facing difficulties with package installations.

This can be quite perplexing, especially if you're just starting out with programming. You may receive messages indicating that the requirements are already satisfied, but the packages do not show up in your pip list when you check.
