To open Terminal on a Mac, you can follow these steps:
Using Spotlight Search:
- The quickest way to open Terminal is by using Spotlight Search. You can access Spotlight by pressing Command + Spacebar simultaneously, or by clicking on the magnifying glass icon in the top-right corner of your screen.
- In the Spotlight Search bar, type "Terminal" and press Enter. This will open the Terminal app.
Using Finder:
You can also open Terminal using the Finder:
- Go to the "Applications" folder, which you can find in your Dock or by clicking on your desktop and selecting "Go" in the menu bar, then "Applications."
- In the "Applications" folder, look for the "Utilities" folder. Open the "Utilities" folder.
- In the "Utilities" folder, you'll find the "Terminal" app. Double-click it to open Terminal.
Using Launchpad:
- If you prefer using Launchpad, you can open Terminal this way:
- Click the Launchpad icon in your Dock, which resembles a rocket.
- In Launchpad, you'll see the "Terminal" icon. Click on it to open Terminal.
- Once you've opened Terminal, you can execute commands and interact with your Mac's command-line interface.
Using the terminal to find the password of your wifi:
You can also recover the Wi-Fi password via the terminal. Open the Terminal app (find it in the utility folder under your Applications folder, or use Spotlight Search).
To view your Wi-Fi password, use the following command:
security find-generic-password -ga "YourNetworkName"
Replace "YourNetworkName" with the Wi-Fi network name for which you want the password.
After running the command, you will be asked for the username and password of your Mac. Enter it, and the Wi-Fi password will be displayed in the terminal.
Please note that you will need administrative privileges to view Wi-Fi passwords on your Mac. Additionally, this method works with networks to which your Mac has previously connected and stored credentials.
