### How do I run a Python file on macOS?
Open Terminal in the folder that contains the file and run:
```bash
python3 your_file.py
```
If macOS says `python3` is missing, install Python from

```bash
brew install python

`python3 your_file.py`. If the script needs packages, install them in a virtual
environment first:
```bash
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 your_file.py
```
