How to open COMMAND file?
The most common problem when using Terminal Command Format is that a specific COMMAND is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that COMMAND files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the COMMAND file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Apple Terminal
The first step is to check if the computer has the Apple Terminal program installed. This can be achieved by typing Apple Terminal into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open COMMAND files.
Programs to open COMMAND file
Remember to download programs supporting COMMAND files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Terminal with COMMAND files
If, despite the installed application, the COMMAND file does not start in the Apple Terminal application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the COMMAND file with the Apple Terminal program.
Step 3. Update Apple Terminal to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Apple Terminal program with the Terminal Command Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the COMMAND file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the COMMAND file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file COMMAND or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected COMMAND file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the COMMAND files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged COMMAND files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted COMMAND files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the COMMAND file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the COMMAND file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the COMMAND file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
