df = pd.read_csv( "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Apress/data-analysis-and-visualization-using-python/master/Ch07/Salaries.csv")
The error I get is: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(‘
When I switch it to [] is get:
df = pd.read_csv["https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Apress/data-analysis-and-visualization-using-python/master/Ch07/Salaries.csv"] Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on df: =: can't find mount point
I’m unsure if I’m missing code or entering it incorrectly.

Answer
You’re trying to run python in the shell instead of in python.
Within the shell enter py, python or python3.
From there, do your normal python commands:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Apress/data-analysis-and-visualization-using-python/master/Ch07/Salaries.csv")
