Help installing - syntax error, unexpected CLASSNAME

Hi i receive this error on attempt to startup-

ERROR: syntax error, unexpected CLASSNAME, expecting $end
in interpreted text
line 1 char 16:

python -m FoxDot
^^^^^^

Followed the instructions to the best of my ability. Does anyone know why it wont work for me?

edit- In my supercollider post window the “^^^^^^” are below foxdot, but when i copy and paste it here they have ended up under python.

Thanks in Advance.

you have to run python -m FoxDot in a terminal not in Supercollider.

Just in case there’s any more ambiguity, terminal on windows is known as command prompt and you access it by going to start and searching for “cmd”.
