how to execute a file in linux

[graceful pebble]

i want to make a .py file executeble

@somber patio can you help?

[somber patio]

heya

just right click it, go to Properties, and permissions tab. and mark it runnable

[graceful pebble]

is it already executable ?

[somber patio]

yes

[graceful pebble]

then why i am unable to run it ?

[somber patio]

then u need some special python command to invoke it.

something like python3 ./thisthing.py

i might be wrong tho

or it may only run in a terminal environment possibly.. so in that folder in terminal: ./thisthing.py

[graceful pebble]

i got these steps

[somber patio]

yep. pretty much what I said.

[graceful pebble]

is this correct?

[somber patio]

yes looks right

[somber patio]

idk ask roshie in main chat about it

or make sure that kit file is in the same folder, or in the system path variable

[graceful pebble]

can i tag him here?

[graceful pebble]

how can i check this?

[somber patio]

maybe just mention it in main first
