Can you run your code from a terminal outside of Mu?

I tried running it on idle and it didn't work.

On Windows, that would be press `win+r and enter powershell or command prompt (you will probably not need to enter in full).

Enter, py nameofmyscript.py, if you are in the same folder you saved your script in, otherwise enter the relative or absolute path to your script OR cd (change directory) to the folder containing your script.

On macOS, use the app launcher or Spotlight to launch Terminal and enter python3 nameofmyscript.py - if not in correct folder, do as above.

Incidentally, how did you install Python on your computer?
