I cannot run a Sublime Text 3 Python program from Command Prompt

Question

I am going through the Python Crash Course book 2nd Edition and trying to set up Sublime Text 3 programs to run from a terminal. I have made sure Sublime Text is running Python and have saved a simple Print("Hello) program to a file called python_work. Now I try and run the program from Command Prompt, I enter cd Desktop\python_work and I get the answer The system cannot find the path specified. The command prompt should show \Desktop\python_work> and I would contiune from there. Why do I get this message and how can I fix it? (I am using Windows 10)

Answer 1

I was getting The system cannot find the path specified because the location of the python_work folder was not directly located on my desktop , the location was C:\User\Me\OneDrive\Desktop. I either had to move the file directly to my desktop or use the command cd OneDrive\Desktop\python_work . So if you get The system cannot find the path specified go to properties on your folder and check the exact location and try inputting that into command prompt.
