I made a Python program for a client, and he wants the python program to run on Ubuntu server. I am not familiar at all with Linux.

I do not understand, what he mean by "Ubuntu Server". Does he mean, he has a website that runs on Ubuntu server? He needs the program ready in next few hours, I asked him for clarification on this thing, but he is probably sleeping, and I need to make the project ready as soon as possible.

  • Probably python /path/to/python/script.py. – Liso Jun 01 '19 at 03:30
  • Ubuntu Server is a flavor of stock Ubuntu without any GUI, and with some extra server packages. The admin communicates with the server using shell only, usually over an ssh connection. It can serve webpages and graphical environments to clients. Python 3 is already included on all flavors of Ubuntu. Python 2 is already included on most flavors, and is trivially added on the rest. – user535733 Jun 01 '19 at 03:34
  • Hey, he said He don't want the script to run on his pc. If not in PC, how will he access the script?? Via a website right? I don't understand :/ Sorry – john doe Jun 01 '19 at 03:34

There are several different versions of python: 

$ ls /usr/bin/python* 
/usr/bin/python  /usr/bin/python2  /usr/bin/python2.7  /usr/bin/python3  /usr/bin/python3.5  /usr/bin/python3.5m  /usr/bin/python3m  /usr/bin/pythontex  /usr/bin/pythontex3

Pick the one you want, I'll use /usr/bin/python for the example. Make the 1st line of your script be: 

#!/usr/bin/python
