I typed up the:

"print hello world" 

Inside my notepad (Windows 10) and I saved it under the "first_program.py" under "All Files" located in my desktop. When I type "python first_program.py" inside the Anaconda, this is the error I received:

"python: can't open file 'first_program.py' : [Errno 2] No such file or directory."

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks!

It may be a bug, have you looked up the problem on google

you have to change directories to where it's located. say that it's saved in c:\Users\Username\Desktop

do this:

cd c:\Users\Username\Desktop

then run python, you have to run python in the same directory as the python script or give the absolute pathname of the file

Most definitely. When I installed the Anaconda, it was installed in my PATH as well so I can run a .py file. But I'm not quite too sure why its not working...

Perfect, it worked. Thank you for your help.
