1,611 PointsWhere to try Dunder Main? How to download it?
I work on PyCharm and have downloaded PowerShell there but in the terminal I still could not run the code, like in the video.

Treehouse TeacherHey Karyna Reut !
So Dunder Main isn't anything that needs to be downloaded, and you can read more about it here in the docs if you'd like!
I use the statement if __name__ == '__main__': down at the bottom of my main script where I have access to the logic that I want ran upon running the app. Underneath it (and (nested) indented to the right) I call the functions that need to be ran and in the correct order to get the app running correctly. For example...
def awesome_function(string_variable):
print(string_variable)
def startup_function():
awesome_function("So Much AWESOME!")
if __name__ == '__main__':
startup_function()
