Running Python Files - Linux Terminal
00:00
Okay, so now you have two files in your pb_terminal/ folder. One is the hello_terminal one, and then you showed me how to use cat to put some content into a file, and this one we called hello_cat.

And what you put in there were one print() function in each file. So since it’s Python code, you should also be able to run it, right? Yes.

So to run Python from the terminal, you typically will just type python and then the name of the file you want to run. Depending a little bit on how things are set up, you may want to run python3 instead, but you can usually now just set things up so that when you run python, it runs the Python 3 that you want to run. But I can just show here, I could also do this. Perfect.

Okay, so, and if you’re running python hello_cat.py, you will run the hello_cat file. Exactly.
