 ### Data Extraction
 
 ```python
-python ../workflow_video_prediction/DataExtraction/mpi_stager_v2.py  --source_dir <input_dir1> --destination_dir <output_dir1>
+python3 ../workflow_video_prediction/DataExtraction/mpi_stager_v2.py  --source_dir <input_dir1> --destination_dir <output_dir1>
 ```
 
 e.g. 
 ```python
-python ../workflow_video_prediction/DataExtraction/mpi_stager_v2.py  --source_dir /p/fastdata/slmet/slmet111/met_data/ecmwf/era5/nc/2017/ --destination_dir /p/scratch/deepacf/bing/extractedData
+python3 ../workflow_video_prediction/DataExtraction/mpi_stager_v2.py  --source_dir /p/fastdata/slmet/slmet111/met_data/ecmwf/era5/nc/2017/ --destination_dir /p/scratch/deepacf/bing/extractedData
 ```
 
 ### Data Preprocessing
