I want to run a Python script in Terminal, but I don't know how? I already have a saved file called gameover.py in the directory "/User/luca/Documents/python".
Running a Script Open the terminal by searching for it in the dashboard or pressing Ctrl + Alt + T . Navigate the terminal to the directory where the script is located using the cd command. Type python SCRIPTNAME.py in the terminal to execute the script.
On a Mac system, it is very straight-forward. All you need to do is open Launchpad and search for Terminal , and in the terminal, type Python and boom, it will give you an output with the Python version.
You can start a Python program with the terminal or command line. This works on all platforms (Mac OS, Windows, Linux). To open a terminal on Windows: press the windows key + r key (run program), type cmd or command and press enter.
You need python installed on your system. Then you can run this in the terminal in the correct directory:
python gameover.py
You can execute your file by using this:
python /Users/luca/Documents/python/gameover.py
You can also run the file by moving to the path of the file you want to run and typing:
python gameover.py
