Answer 1

Hi @Leabriah Spencer ,

Thank you for using Microsoft Q&A.

Below is the error that I was able to repro at my end:

dupammi [ ~/azure-openai/Labfiles/05-image-generation/Python ]$ generate-image.py
bash: generate-image.py: command not found

Instead of above command, please use below command:

dupammi [ ~/azure-openai/Labfiles/05-image-generation/Python ]$ python generate-image.py

Command : python generate-image.py

It gives you a prompt like below.

Enter a prompt to request an image: 

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Answer 2

To fix the "bash: generate-image.py: command not found" error in the DALL-E tutorial, you need to make sure that the file has executable permissions. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

chmod +x generate-image.py

This will give the file executable permissions, allowing you to run it as a command.
