🔒 the print command isn't working

[placid tundra]

i'm a super newbie! and just printing hello world or simple text, my code isn't running. i wonder why. this is my code:

print("hiii‼️")

and the attached picture is what showed up on my terminal. this is the youtube video i've been following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5KVEU3aaeQ&lc=UgxxMyjSbpCSITGVn1B4AaABAg.AHM889n-LWZAHYbOCT7EP4 (idk if this helped TwT, i've been stuck on this for quite a while)

Do "python app.py"

$ is for Linux and Mac

[red charm]

its a problem in you command not in the python file

[red charm]

yes

[placid tundra]

what is the problem in my command?

[placid tundra]

ok wait i will try

[snow plaza]

You're on windows and using $ that's the problem

[red charm]

also it is common to call your file main.py and not app.py if you are not making a site or smth

[placid tundra]

didnt work TwT

[red charm]

remove the 05.03.2025

[placid tundra]

ohh, even tho i named it app.py before?

wait ill try

[placid tundra]

okk

[red charm]

yes

[dusky ocean]

use py

or add python.exe to your path env

[placid tundra]

so like python.exe main.py?

[red charm]

it doesnt really matters it is just the traditional name

[dusky ocean]

add python.exe to your path env

[red charm]

yes you need to add it to PATH

[dusky ocean]

or just use py like i said

[red charm]

doesnt it have to be in PATH too?

[dusky ocean]

did i say to add it?

[red charm]

no

[dusky ocean]

exactly

just use it

[red charm]

so i guess it doesnt have to be in PATH?

[dusky ocean]

it installs to C:/Windows which is on your PATH already

[red charm]

ohhh

[placid tundra]

uhm im sorry im a bit confused what should i type then?

[red charm]

py main.py

[dusky ocean]

py (3rd time)

[snow plaza]

I think you should watch some videos on setting up IDEs and installing python @placid tundra

[placid tundra]

it didnt work TwT

[placid tundra]

okk thank youu TwT

[dusky ocean]

then you havent installed python

[placid tundra]

i installled itt

[dusky ocean]

can you open IDLE in your start menu?

[red charm]

run cd C:/Windows; dir and send the output

[dusky ocean]

dont

[dusky ocean]

you'll fill the terminal with junk

[dusky ocean]

[red charm]

well we will see if he has py.exe there

[dusky ocean]

still

[placid tundra]

🙈

[dusky ocean]

you'll fill the terminal with junk

[dusky ocean]

is this a user installation or a system one?

where did you get it from

[placid tundra]

how to know?

[dusky ocean]

you should know - you installed it

[red charm]

then run cd C:/Windows; dir | findstr "py"

[dusky ocean]

its very clearly not there

otherwise it would work on the command line

[red charm]

idk

[dusky ocean]

this is pointless

[dusky ocean]

@placid tundra

[placid tundra]

wait let me check

i dont know how TwT

Users\AQObn\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\python.exe

does this help?

[red charm]

emm

yes

python313 should be in C:/Python313 i think

[placid tundra]

are they in different loc is that why it isnt working/

how do i fix?

adsdfgh im so sorryy 🙈

[dusky ocean]

thats system install

[red charm]

yes

i think deleting the Python313 folder then going to https://www.python.org/downloads/ and downloading again should work

[dusky ocean]

uninstall it properly

[red charm]

[placid tundra]

[placid tundra]

[red charm]

[dusky ocean]

you open it in the start menu, then right click it and click "uninstall"
