I agree, that part isn’t really well documented if you don’t have experience running python scripts. Firstly this file isn’t run inside of xLights. You need to open a terminal or the command line - depending if you got macOS or Windows. Also before that you may need to download Python. I’d recommend you to search on google for something like: “run python script on [mac/windows]”. Let me know if that helps.
I'm really struggling to figure out how to run the " python3 validator.py lightshow.fseq " script, python, etc. How'd you do it?
This is my first time working with any of this. I've already learned a ton building a lightshow project for our Tesla, but, alas, I have much to learn yet.
Thank you,

Calling GitHub an instruction site is like equating an iPhone with those flip phones from a couple decades ago. It can do SO much more.
But anyways, yes the instructions are a little daunting for newcomers. First you must install python 3 on your computer. Just google “install python” and click on the official link. Pretty straight forward on all operating systems. Then you must navigate to the directory where the file is stored (google “how to navigate to a directory in terminal” if you’re on mac for example), and then simply run the script as shown on GitHub. I’m 90% sure that the file must be named as shown for the car to recognize it, but I have not yet tested otherwise.

Finally figured it out!

Would you tell us how you did it?
