    A Python virtual environment is important for development because it isolates the Python dependencies used for testing and development from your system Python installation. This ensures reproducible builds and prevents conflicts with other projects.
 
+   **Using the Python Environments extension (recommended):**
+
+   1. Open the Command Palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P` / `Cmd+Shift+P`)
+   2. Run **Python: Create Environment**
+   3. Select **Venv** as the environment type
+   4. Choose your preferred Python interpreter
+   5. The extension will create the `.venv` folder and configure your workspace automatically
+
+   **Alternatively, from the command line:**
+
    ```bash
    # Create the virtual environment
    python -m venv .venv
