Title: Opening a Terminal for Docker Commands
Summary
This section offers a quick tip on how to access a terminal for executing Docker commands, which is a prerequisite for interacting with Docker. Specifically, it details the steps for opening a command-line interface on both Windows and Mac operating systems. For Windows users, it instructs them to access the Command Prompt via the Start Menu. Mac users are guided to open the Terminal application through the Launchpad. This ensures users can properly interface with Docker through command-line instructions regardless of their operating system, providing a basic foundation before proceeding with Docker operations.
