Hi,  
I need your help please.  
by running this command:prodigy ner.manual ner\_news\_headlines blank:en ./news\_headlines.jsonl --label PERSON,ORG,PRODUCT,LOCATION  
I am asked to choose with which tool to open this file and when I choose for example notepad or mozilla firefox I find this: "#!/ bin/sh python -m prodigy "$@"

what should I do to be able to open the prodigy interface to be able to start the annotation.  
Thank you !

hi @Tiziri,

Can you run it if you add `python -m prodigy ...` to the beginning of your command?

We have a [part in our documentation](https://prodi.gy/docs/install#install-cli-command) that explains this is a bit when you may have an issue with your `prodigy` alias.
