Intro

First Code

Today you will learn how to run your first lines of code.

The echo command

The echo command is used to return a line of text.
When you enter the terminal, you should see something like this:

CST/your_name-->

This is what we call the "prompt."
At the prompt, enter the following and then press enter:

echo hi

As you can see, this outputs the phrase "hi." You can enter anything you want after the "echo," and it will work.

The open command

The open command opens a new page.
Simply enter the following command at the prompt:

open [webpage]

Replace webpage with the name of the webpage. Be sure to put http:// or https:// at the beginning of the webpage.

Wrapping up

Congratulations! You have just written your first code in CST!
