<title>Execute a command</title>
|
||
|
||
<p>Any input entered in the <app>Terminal</app> to be executed is referred to
|
||
as a <em>command</em>. You can run both command line and graphical user
|
||
interface (GUI) programs from the terminal.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>To execute commands:</p>
|
||
|
||
<steps>
|
||
<item>
|
||
<p>Type the command in the <app>Terminal</app> prompt.</p>
|
||
</item>
|
||
<item>
|
||
<p>Press <key>Enter</key> to execute it.</p>
|
||
</item>
|
||
</steps>
|
||
|
||
<p>If you have a program that ends abruptly without any warning or error,
|
||
you may want to run it in <app>Terminal</app>. This will allow the program to
|
||
output any error or debugging messages to the <app>Terminal</app> window. This
|
||
information can be helpful when filing a bug report.</p>

|
||
<link href="https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/">Bash shell</link>
|
||
for more information on what you can do in a terminal.</p>
