How To Use Anaconda Python To Execute A .py File?

I just downloaded and installed Anaconda on my Windows computer. However, I am having trouble executing .py files using the command prompt. How can I get my computer to understand

Solution 1:

You should use Anaconda Prompt instead of common Windows command prompt. Then navigate to your folder with the .py file and run:

 python myfile.py

However if you want to use normal command prompt you should put the path with you're python.exe which is usually in

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\python.exe

behind this one put your .py file.

Solution 2:

Launch JupyterLab from Anaconda (Perform the following operation with JupyterLab ...)

Click on icon folder in side menu

Start up "Text File"

Rename untitle.txt to untitle.py (The name of the file started up was also changed)

Start up the "terminal" (In windows the power shell starts up)

Execute the command python untitle.py

Solution 3:

Right click on a .py file and choose 'open with'

Scroll down through the list of applications and click something like 'use a different program'

Naviage to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3

click on python.exe and then click on 'ok' or 'open'

Now when you double click on any .py file it will run it through Anaconda's interpreter and therefore run the python code.

I presume if you run it through the command line the same would apply but perhaps someone could correct me?

Solution 4:

Just get to the home of jupyter notebook and select "New" then select "Text file".

Then save the text file as file_name.py

Write your code in the file and save the file.

Then open the "Anaconda Prompt" and then type as follows to run your file

python file_name.py

Solution 5:

You can do it from the "Anaconda Prompt"

conda run "my_script.py"
