How to open TERMINAL file?
The main problem with Terminal Settings Format is that the TERMINAL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TERMINAL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TERMINAL 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Apple Terminal is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Apple Terminal into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open TERMINAL file
Remember to download programs supporting TERMINAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Terminal with TERMINAL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TERMINAL file to open in the Apple Terminal application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TERMINAL file with the Apple Terminal program.
Step 3. Update Apple Terminal to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Apple Terminal program, it is possible that Terminal Settings Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TERMINAL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The TERMINAL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TERMINAL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TERMINAL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TERMINAL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of TERMINAL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TERMINAL files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TERMINAL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TERMINAL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TERMINAL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
