Cannot show the output menu on sublime text 3

#1

Hello,
I keep trying to print anything, for example:
print “variable”
I am on Sublime Text 3 on Python programming language, I already looked this up and it said to click on Show Build Results and I tried that but it is faded (like grey so I cannot click on it) so whenever I write a code and I click enter nothing happens or shows up what can I do.

What steps are you taking in order to run your code?

For example I write
random_variable = 28 / 3
print random_variable

In order to get your code to run in Sublime, you need to:

  1. Save your code in a file with a .py extension on it
  2. Select Tools > Build from the menu or press the associated hot key (the menu entry will tell you what that is)

The build results window only appears when you use the build command, as outlined above. Further to this, you may also have to install a python interpreter on your computer if you haven’t already done so or there isn’t already one installed. You’ll know if that’s the case because the build will give you an error about python being an unrecognized command.
