Thank you for your post! As elementary as it seems, where do you access the terminal to install things on a Mac? I also just ordered one myself after only using PC's my whole life. I've read a few of your posts since recently joining Dev.to and they are delightful : )
Hi Brittany, as all the best mensplainers forged by millennia of patriarchy, I insert myself to... give you an explanation Ali could have perfectly given herself:
you can open the default Terminal by going to Applications -> Utilities and in there you'll find the Terminal app.
My preference though is towards iTerm2 which is a better terminal.

Haha thank you rhymes! Awesome explanation. I also use spotlight search which you can get to with cmd + space. Then you can type in terminal in order to get to it.

This is a rundown that might help to install iTerm or other apps that are not packaged with brew: howtogeek.com/177619/how-to-instal...
Welcome to the Mac world. I'm sure you'll get used to it!
Literal LOL and well played, sir 😁

cmd + space is how I launch everything pretty much. And I only started using it this year, though I've used OS X since launch. Love it.
