# The terminal
The terminal, the console, the command line. All terms refer to the same thing. Get access to a Linux system and open a terminal. Wait, don't panic!
Many find the terminal frightening. This is the cryptic thing you see hackers in films using! You might ask yourself, what am I doing here? I don't want to break my system or launch a terminator!
Again, don't panic! What you see is just a prompt (usually on a dark background).
Now, how to interact with the terminal? You are probably not seeing a lot of buttons on your terminal. This is because you interact with it (mainly) through your keyboard. But what to type?
It is like a chat with your computer. But your computer is not into memes. It is a soldier waiting for your commands!
Lets enter a command, probably your first command. Type `echo "Hello!"` and press enter:
```console
$ echo "Hello!"
Hello!
```
Congratulation! You did just say hi to your computer and it did even reply! What a charm!
Well, to be more precise, you gave a command to your computer to say "Hello!" and it did that.
I know, I did just brake the romance between you and your computer. I appoligize.
