Quanty is a text based program. In order to run it you need to make a text file that contains the commands you want to execute, then you run the program with as an input the name of the text file. Running such a program goes via the “terminal”. 
You can find the terminal in your launchpad under the subfolder other. Once you've opened the terminal a with field appears with a blinking cursor. Welcome to the world of linux and text based interfacing as it was standard in the 1980's. From here you can control your computer with text commands. A few useful commands are:
-
ls - list the files in the folder you are in at the moment
-
cd - changes you to a new folder
-
pwd - shows you the folder you are in
In order to find a full tutorial on linux you can google “linux bash shell commands” to find more information than you want to know.
We now need to place the program Quanty into a folder where you can run it easily from within the terminal. To do so we will create the folder “bin” in your home directory.
