Hi there @FaresFilms,

What you need to do first is to install python, I would recommend following the steps from this article here on how to do that:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-python-3-and-set-up-a-programming-environment-on-an-ubuntu-18-04-server

Then you can upload your .py script to your server via SFTP.

After that, you can run the script as shown in the tutorial.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
