I'm brand new to coding. I managed to figure out how to use github and I have been forking projects over to my machine in an attempt to play around with them and learn python. My problem is every single project I fork over, when I run any of the .py files in Coderunner it pops up with errors and doesn't run correctly.

Is this because coderunner is not capable of running these programs? Or do I have to run the programs through terminal to get them functioning correctly?

  • every project is different, usually the run/build instructions are somewhere in `INSTALL` or `README` files. terminal is usually the way to go –  Sep 02 '13 at 23:23
  • in addition to the previous comment, there are `setup.py` files. And if you post the code youtrying to run and error you getting, we will be glad to help you, othewise, we can't – Vor Sep 02 '13 at 23:25
  • I guess my question is.. Is Coderunner even capable of running a full python project with multiple files in it, or is Coderunner more meant for like quick testing of code? – david Sep 02 '13 at 23:45

Coderunner is more useful in testing single python files instead of larger projects, however it can run such projects. A larger project should have a setup.py or a main.py which should be run. Also, what errors are you getting?
