How to run Python scripts

To run Python scripts, you can use the command line interface (CLI) by navigating to the directory where the script is saved and running the command:

python script_name.py

Make sure that Python is installed on your system and that the environment variables are set up correctly. Alternatively, you can use an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) such as PyCharm, Spyder or Jupyter Notebook to run Python scripts. IDEs provide a friendly user interface and a number of features to streamline the development process, such as code highlighting and debugging tools.

To run Python scripts with conda

To run Python scripts with conda, you can use the Anaconda Prompt or any CLI after activating the desired conda environment containing the Python version you wish to use. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Anaconda Prompt or your preferred CLI.
2. Activate the conda environment that contains the desired version of Python by running:

conda activate env_name

where env_name is the name of the conda environment.
3. Navigate to the directory where the Python script is saved by running:

cd /path/to/directory/

where /path/to/directory/ is the path to the directory where the script is saved.
4. Run the Python script by running:

python script_name.py

where script_name.py is the name of the Python script you want to run.

Note that if the script has dependencies on other packages, you may need to install them first or have them installed in the conda environment beforehand. You can do this using the conda install command or by creating a conda environment with all the necessary package dependencies included.
