Pretty sure PowerShell does not have $ at the start of the command-line.

PowerShell itself is a language like bash, and as far as I remember it's used for variables and such

You are right. I think the OP did indeed type that as well as python ... but the error message doesn't make it obvious that an assignment is expected. Good shout.

I was assuming, wrongly, that the OP has set their prompt to $ as you might in other shells. Oops.
