Here is my code:

    if console == 'y':
                # Placeholder
                pass
            elif console == 'Y':
                # Placeholder
                pass
            elif console == 'n':
                # Placeholder
                pass
            elif console == 'N':
                # Placeholder
                pass
            elif console == 'Exit':
                sys.exit(0)
            else:
                print('Unknown Command')
                sys.exit(0) # Placeholder

On the line

else if console == 'Y':

i get the error

Error:
SyntaxError: Expected An Indented Block

I'm using IDLE, so i'm getting told its a problem with the "else" in

else if console == 'Y':

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. If i indent the line, i get the error

Error:
SyntaxError: Invalid Syntax

What am i supposed to do to fix this? If i manage to fix one, the rest will probably return the same error.

indents are 4 spaces per level.
In addition, you need at least a 'pass' command after each condition

if console == 'y':
    # Placeholder
    pass
else if console == 'Y':
    # Placeholder
    pass
else if console == 'n':
    # Placeholder
    pass
else if console == 'N':
    # Placeholder
    pass

on the second row you need to put what will be executed in case the condition is True.
so it will look like

if console == 'y':
    print('you entered {}'.format(console))
elif console == 'Y':
    pass # now, that is a placeholder
elif console == 'n':
    pass # now, that is a placeholder
elif console == 'N':
    pass # now, that is a placeholder
else:
    pass # now, that is a placeholder

however more pythonic would be something like

if console.lower() in ('y', 'yes'):
    pass # now, that is a placeholder

I have 4 spaces per indent, but i added the pass.

Now it highlights the if in

else if console == 'Y':

instead of the else

I'm getting

Error:
Invalid Syntax

instead of

Error:
Expected an Indented Block

as well.

I made a mistake in my coding. I code in Atom, but run programs in IDLE, so the file didn't save when i added the pass. The program runs successfully.

it's elif not else if
