title: How to remove Syntax error when doing mne_edf2fiff conversion
body: <p>I am new to MNE python, and wanted to convert the raw file provided to me in edf format to .fif format. However, I came across this problem. I was wondering if anyone could help me with resolving the issue. I am sharing the code below:</p>
  <pre><code>import matplotlib
  import pathlib
  
  import mne
  import mne_bids
  
  matplotlib.use('Qt5Agg')
  
  import numpy as py
  
  import pyedflib
  
  cd C:\Users\sxb2391\Downloads\Files
  
  mne_edf2fiff --edf Try.edf --fif Recording_9_fil.fif
  </code></pre>
  <p>And this was the error I obtained:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <pre><code>File &quot;C:\Users\sxb2391\AppData\Local\Temp/ipykernel_12080&gt;&gt;/372198582.py&quot;, line 1
     mne_edf2fiff --edf Try.edf --fif Recording_9_fil.fif
                        ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  </code></pre>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Could someone help me with solving this error. That would be of great help.</p>
