Hello guys I'm actually new to Terminal and Python. Just started following a Python tuturial on my Ubuntu and I've reached a part where it asks me to save a .py file and open it in Terminal.
Only when I try to type on Terminal $ python egotrip.py I get $: command not found Then I try to type it in python and I get
File "", line 1 python egotrip.py ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
But I mean all names are correct :(
Then I gave also tried /home/anacah/Desktop/python/egotrip.py
And I get
Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in NameError: name 'home' is not defined
What am I doing wrong? :( can someone please help?
