First, you’re going to need a way to access the command line. If you’re on Linux or Mac machine, this is easy! Both have applications that come with your computer named Terminal. If you’re on a Windows device, you’ll need to download a Terminal emulator, such as PuTTY or MobaXterm. After opening Terminal, you’ll probably feel like a hacker. That’s cool. The feeling takes a long time to go away.
Note: When using the command line, there is always who
you are and which folder you’re in to the left of where you type. This bit ends
with a
$, which will be shown in every command line example in this guide.
