Hi, I´m currently doing the Linux and python basic course and I keep getting the error message in the terminal whenever I try to execute a python code: “No such file or directory” It appears in both courses so I´m not sure what the reason is… any suggestions? cheers, Karan ---

Hi @karan.moallim, Welcome to the community 🙂 This sounds like you forgot to make the file executable. To do this, run the following command: ``` chmod +x 'filename' ``` to check whether files have the execute permission, you can check with `ls` this should list all the files in your directory. If the name is green, the file is executable. ---

Hi @jayanthkalgikar2005, as I can see in the image, the problem is that the file was created in the **~/catkin\_ws/src/robot\_control** folder, but in the terminal, I see you are not in that directory. Please make sure you are in the right directory with: ` cd ~/catkin_ws/src/robot_control` There the command would work. You can list the files in the current directory using the `ls` command to confirm the file exist. ---
