How to run Python Program?

1. Write the Python Code

Create a file for your program using a Python file. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Open a text editor or an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like VS Code, PyCharm, or IDLE (default with Python).
  • Write the following code in the editor:
print("Welcome To Jobbinge")

2. Save the Python File

Save the file with the .py extension. This extension indicates it’s a Python script.

  • Example: Save the file as welcome.py.

šŸ“‚ Ensure you save it in a directory where you can easily access it later.

3. Install Python (If Not Installed)

If you haven’t installed Python yet:

  1. Download Python from python.org.
  2. Install it according to the installation instructions.
  3. During installation, be sure to check the option “Add Python to PATH”.

šŸ” To verify installation, open a terminal or command prompt and type:

python --version

or

python3 --version

You should see the installed Python version.

4. Open Terminal or Command Prompt

  • On Windows: Press Win + R, type cmd, and hit Enter.
  • On Mac/Linux: Open the Terminal from the applications menu.

Use the cd (change directory), command and navigate to the directory holding your Python file:

cd path_to_your_file_directory

For example, if your file is in the Documents folder:

cd Documents

5. Run the Python Program

Once you are in the directory, execute the Python script by typing:

python welcome.py

or, if python3 is the command for Python on your system:

python3 welcome.py

6. See the Output

After running the command, you should see the following output in your terminal:

Welcome To Jobbinge

Additional notes

  • If you are using an IDE such as PyCharm or VS Code, you can run the program from the IDE by clicking the “Run” button.
  • You can run the program by pressing F5 after writing your code in Python IDLE.
