How to start a Python App

System: BeOS, Haiku, Zeta

1. Starting the Terminal.
2. We change into the folder there the python app placed. We use the shell app cd to change into the folder (cd /path/to/folder).
   Enter the name of the app and press enter
   (we use the game Pykanoid from Pygame for example).

cd /boot/home/pykanoid





Then you have changed into the game folder you can start the app. Type python and then the name of the app into the terminal. Press enter to start the app.

python pykanoid.py




3. You can also use our little tool we have listed in our downoads.
   If you have installed the tool you get a entry in the zeta menu (Zeta/Software/Tools)
   To start doubleclick on the tool and following the commands.
   Have fun!
