This article will introduce a very simple yet interesting and important concept that is How To Run Python In Ubuntu (Linux)? with a detailed practical demonstration. So let us get started then,
How to run Python in Ubuntu (Linux)
If you are curious about how to run Python in Ubuntu, here’s an article dedicated to it that may help you out. We are here using Ubuntu Version 14.04. It supports Python 2 and Python 3 versions.
So here is the first step.
Step1: Open your desktop like this.
Step2: Go for Files > Documents on the left-hand side.
Step3: In documents, you can either go for a folder in which you want to save your program or directly make a program there itself.
Step 4: Right-click in that area and select a New Document > Empty document.
Step 5: Name your file with a .py extension so that the system can detect it is a python file.
Step 6: Open your file and you’ll find out the file opens in ‘gedit’.
Write down your desired program in the given area and save it.
Step 7: Open Terminal in left-hand side down corner.
Step 8: Once done, we have to change the directory so that it’s easy to access for us to fetch the code.
Step 9: For that, the Linux command is cd Documents/ wherever your file is saved.
Step 10: Once done, enter and you are in that particular directory.
Step 11: Now to run your Python file, all you have to command is ‘ python yourfilename.py’.
Step 12: It basically tells the terminal to run the python file.
Step 13: In case if you want to check which version of Python are you using, you can write the python -version.
Step 14: Instead of using the Python 2 version, if you use Python 3 version, you can readily execute it by writing ‘python3 yourfilename.py’.
Step 15: Make sure while executing your Python code in Python 3 version, you use the syntax according to Python 3. Example: Python 2 print statement may or may not have ( ) with print statements but in Python 3, print statements should be with ().
