Message definition (Tutorials/Open a console)
When asking for help you may be told to "open a console" or "open a terminal" - they are the same thing.  Why would you want to?  Well, sometimes something doesn't behave as expected.  When you use a GUI (graphical user interface) to do something, you don't know why it failed.  If you open a terminal and try to do the same thing from the command-line, you will get a lot of text showing while the command is working, and what it reports will help people to help you find the problem.
