I’m learning Python and when I run a simple print(“Hello World”) rather than running the program, the terminal shows the below:  
**Windows PowerShell**

**Try the new cross-platform PowerShell [Installing PowerShell - PowerShell | Microsoft Docs](https://aka.ms/pscore6)**

**PS C:\Users\hesle\>**

How do I fix that?

Thanks.

What to do is install code runner as a vscode extension and click on the run button ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/codewithmosh/original/2X/9/9a436b77ae0012c94daafd13155399b1bd31fb90.png)  
or go to the terminal and do python \_\_\_\_.py! That should work.
