A.1 The operating system command line

At several points in this book, I ask you to enter and execute a statement from “the operating system command line.” For example, in section 10.1.3, I ask you to run pytest unipoly.py from the command line.

The way to get a command line varies by the operating system you are using:

For Microsoft Windows, open Windows PowerShell or Windows Command Prompt from the Start menu or by typing “PowerShell” or “Prompt” in the search box.
For Apple macOS, start the Terminal application from Launchpad or the Application/Utilities folder.
For Linux, if you are in a graphical environment, try typing Ctrl-Alt-T to open the terminal. Otherwise, look for a “Terminal” application in the system menus. If you are not in a graphical environment, you are in a terminal!
