Permission denied for Python script using Bash?
I am new to Ubuntu... I am trying to run my first simple python program "Hello World" ... After running following commands in terminal 1. chmod +x filename.py 2. ./filename.py terminal is showing following error " bash: ./filename.py: Permission denied " what can I do for solve about problem? Do you have the appropriate incantation at the top of your python file? e.g., #!/usr/bin/python (or alternatively #!/usr/bin/env python ) Just to clarify, chmod +x only makes a file executable, it doesn't run it. And I'm assuming your script looks like nothing more complex than this: #!/usr/bin/env python
