In Mac / Unix: Open a terminal window and change directory to the folder of your Nxt Client. For example, cd/Applications/nxt. If you are not sure of the path to your Nxt folder, you can type ‘cd’ in the terminal and drag and drop the Nxt folder into the terminal window. Then start the Nxt Client by entering ./run.sh
