Welcome to Term 1! We'll start off by installing and setting up some essential applications. This process may differ based on your operating system.
If you're using a Mac, congrats! You have it easy. Your command line application is already installed. It's called Terminal.
Locate this application by going to your Applications folder, then going to the Utilities folder inside. Terminal should be inside of there.
Alternatively, you can press [CMD][SPACE] to bring up MacOS's Spotlight Search inside of which you can search for "Terminal".
