Yes, it is possible to run Python scripts from the command line on Linux using the python command. Here's a basic example:
1.Open a terminal.
2.Navigate to the directory where your Python script is located, using the cd command:
cd path/to/your/python/script
3.Run the Python script using the python command:
python your_script.py
If you're using Python 3, you might need to use the python3 command:
python3 your_script.py
Replace your_script.py with the actual name of your Python script.
In some cases, you might want to make the script executable and run it directly without specifying the Python interpreter. To do this, you need to add a shebang line at the beginning of your Python script. Here's an example:
1.Open your Python script in a text editor.
2.Add the following line at the very beginning of the script:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
This line tells the system to use the Python 3 interpreter.
3.Save the script.
4.Make the script executable using the chmod command:
chmod +x your_script.py
Now, you can run the script directly:
./your_script.py
Make sure to replace your_script.py with the actual name of your Python script.
