So I want to run the following command !cat data_file/sample.txt (data_file is the folder where we can find the txt file called sample.txt) The result that I want to see when running this command is the content of the sample.txt . Instead I receive The following error: 'cat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Geanina Sava First you need to go on that location where your python is installed then run that command. Hope it will run.

Geanina Sava To run command from anywhere you need to set path of installed python directory to system environment variable. To check how to set path you can see this tutorial. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_environment.htm
