The "prompt" is the invite sign that is shown at the beginning of each line. If you open a terminal window (menu start, run cmd), you see a prompt like C:\User\myname. If the prompt you see is something like >>>, it means that you are already inside the python program. Type print("hello") and then you should see Hello on the next line, then the prompt again.

i've been trying it in a terminal, no succes...
yeah i know it does, but the exercise is to run the program from a terminal :)
But it's OK, guys... i'll just skip this one. Maybe i'll learn how to fix it when i progress through the book
Windows? If you hit CTRL+R and type cmd then hit Return it will open a terminal window. This is called terminal.
If you type python into that terminal and hit Return the Python interactive interpreter will be opened. You will recognize it by >>> prompt.
So, writing a script and save it in a .py file? In order to run it, you have to do it in the cmd. The first one.
Actually Win+R
Pff
Look at this
Python 3.6 and pip installation under Windows,

I believe that should be "Windows button + R"
I would also suggest deleting your current file, and rewrite and save it using Notepad. Geany is a good IDE, but there are settings and things to remember when using it. While things are still simple, it's ok to use a plain text editor. This will give you time to learn how to properly setup and use Geany.

for some reason, using this method to open a terminal, it worked :D thanks.
