Kivy error while running : TypeError: run() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

I was just watching a tutorial on kivy and for some reason my code won't work as the person teaching

import kivy
from kivy.app import App as App
from kivy.uix.label import Label

class myapp(App) :

    def build(self):
        return Label(text = "Hello world")

        
if __name__ == '__main__':
    myapp.run()

thats the code and

You need to change:

myapp.run()

to:

myapp().run()

That is, you must create an instance of myapp (the myapp() with parens), then call the run() method of that instance.
