  • Will these commands work on Lion?

  • @mrspy1100 Yes, they should.

  • One more thing. I am trying to install netBeans for my macbook pro and it won't allow me throwing an error"you need java 6 to run this app". I saw you have netBeans in your dock. Any ideas?

  • @carbidutz I don't think Mac OS X comes with Java pre-installed anymore. You will have to download it from sun's website.

  • it all worked very well until you started on the copying, moving and renaming things. my terminal keeps telling me: "No such file or directory" ..which NOT true.. so now I'm wondering do I have to do something else? be in the same directory I'm copy pasting from?

  • @beguie If you are trying to copy a file, either you need to enter a relative or absolute path to the file, meaning that you should be CD'd to the directory containing the item that you are trying to rename or copy.

  • @XtremeConnor There is no Terminal on windows.

  • I'm confused. I'm always told that Mac uses UNIX, But when I look at the the terminal, It say GNU. Which is it?
