New Programmer Question: How to See my output?

#1

Hi, disclaimer I am completely new to programming. For some reason, I cannot find my output window. I’m typing the typical print("Hello World), but I can’t find any console or anything to print it. I’m programming in Python. Any help?

When you execute Tools -> Build from the menu, an output panel should appear at the bottom of your ST window, if there were no errors

Thanks! one more question, I see the output panel now but when i type print(“hello world”) it still doesnt print that its just shows

“/usr/bin/python: can’t find ‘main’ module in ‘’
[Finished in 0.0s with exit code 1]
[shell_cmd: python -u “”]
[dir: /Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS]
[path: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin]”

with nothing else. Am I doing something wrong?

You need to save your file first.

Check “Save all on Build” in the Tools menu. Then you can build without explicitly saving first.
