Some of the instructions in this guide ask you to type commands into the command line (Terminal). You can find the Terminal application on the desktop.

If you are not familiar with using a command line, don’t worry — this guide will direct you at each step. All you need to remember is that commands are case-sensitive (so you must type them exactly as they appear here), and to press Enter after typing each command to run it.
