Problem running ev3dev on visual studio code

Question

When I try to run the program on the ev3 brick I keep getting this error:

Starting: brickrun --directory="/home/robot/maybe" "/home/robot/maybe/main.py"
Starting program failed: Failed to execute child process "/home/robot/maybe/main.py" (Permission denied)
Exited with error code 1.

I tried to look this issue up on multiple websites with no luck

Answer 1

I had this issue because my script didn't start with #!/usr/bin/env python3, adding this to the beginning solved the issue.
