How to run Python script in Linux?

Question

Can anyone tell me how to run Python script in Linux?

Answer 1

After writing the code in Python, you have to save your file in the .py format.

Now, you have to open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.

After that, you can navigate the terminal to the directory where the .py file is located using the following:

cd path_of_the_file

After setting the path, in the terminal, you can write the following to execute the script:

python SCRIPTNAME.py

If your script is written in Python3, then you should write:

python3 SCRIPTNAME.py
