Hi John, He means to open the Terminal app, and type the Gnucash command.
Type terminal into your search bar, and search will highlight Terminal.app. Double-click that, and a terminal will open. In that terminal, on my Mac, I would type /Applications.Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash and hit return. (Just type /App then press tab, then type Gnu and press tab, then tab again, then type M, tab, then G tab. The command above will be filled in automatically. Then press return.) If any messages come up in the terminal window, report them back here.
