Linux

Let’s be honest here. If you use Linux, do you really need to learn how to use the command shell? How is it possible to do anything in Linux without knowing how to use the command shell?

On the off chance that you honestly have never used a command shell in Linux, the hard part is finding the program that provides access to the shell. Which program to use depends on your choice of GUI.

X11: xterm
Gnome: Gnome Terminal
KDE: konsole

Once you have that running, simply refer to the instructions for MacOS. While the programs are not exactly the same (particularly if you are running a shell other than Bash ), they are close enough for purposes of this class.
