command not found

[sillyofpepper]

This might be a very simple question since I'm not very familiar with running code in the terminal, but I keep getting the result "command not found: tumblr_backup.py"
I downloaded tumblr-utils in November 2023
I ran tumblr_backup.py [blog name] from the folder it was in
It might be relevant that I'm on a mac and am using the terminal.

If the current folder is the same as where the script was downloaded, the correct command is ./tumblr_backup.py. Note the dot and slash at the start. If your current folder is not the same as the download folder, put the name of the download folder first, e.g. /Users/sillyofpepper/Downloads/tumblr_backup.py.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: the variable HOME contains the path of your home folder, so this can be simplified to $HOME/Downloads/tumblr_backup.py.

Thank you!
I hope you don't mind guiding me through a new error: "non-ok API response: HTTP 404 not found"

Can you post the complete command you entered and the complete output that results?

I just replaced the blog name for privacy.
