Final answer:
To run a .sh file in the Mac terminal, navigate to the script's directory, make it executable with chmod if necessary, and execute the script with './filename.sh'. Use 'sudo' for scripts requiring administrative permissions.
Step-by-step explanation:
To run a .sh file in terminal on a Mac, you first need to open the Terminal application which can be found in the 'Utilities' folder within the 'Applications' directory. Once Terminal is open, you'll follow these steps:
- Navigate to the directory where the .sh file is located using the cd command, for example: cd ~/path/to/script/.
- Before executing the script, you might need to make it executable with the chmod command: chmod +x filename.sh.
- Run the script by typing ./filename.sh into the terminal and press Enter.
If the script requires administrative permissions, you might need to run it with 'sudo' before the script command: sudo ./filename.sh.
