hello running-terminal-commands!Recommended usage
Basically, no matter which article you’re viewing, you can run the commands one line at a time from the top.
If you’re new to this, we recommend selecting the “no-install” category from the menu or sidebar displayed by clicking the command list button, or from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page, and then viewing the articles displayed.
There are no required commands, so you can run them if you can open a terminal, terminal, or prompt using the method above.
