Create an executable command file in MAC OS. This tutorial explains how to create an executable command file in MAC OS. MAC commands executable / batch file consisting of commands to run (an alternate to.bat file of windowsOS in MacOC). If you have worked on windows command prompt, you might used.bat or batch file which will have all the commands that you want to run, and when you double. To create a shell script that will execute in Terminal when you open it, name it with the “command” extension, e.g., file.command. By default, these are sent to Terminal, which will execute the file as a shell script. You will also need to ensure the file is executable, e.g.: chmod +x file.command Without this, Terminal will refuse to.

Mac Executable File Extension
I recently journeyed into the land of the light and am the brand new owner of a MacBook Pro. Having been a slave to PC's for WAY too long, I am clueless how the mac operates, but a VERY quick learner.
I am have downloaded an executable file that I need for work, but cannot seem to get it to launch to install my program. I know this is very elementary, but we all have to start somewhere.
Thank you!
Mac Create App From Executable Windows 7

PS - this is only the first elementary question i will have, so if you have a good source for Mac beginners, please share. I haved purchased 'Macbook Pro - Portable Genius', but that seems to be more focused on visually arranging my computer.
Mac os sticky notes app. Sorry to say this but now you will become a Slave to Apple and Mac OS X.
Actually there is very little difference between the 2 platforms.
As to the Executable file. Apple Mac OS X does not use Executable files (.exe). Those are for Windows based computers. Mac OS X uses .DMG files and .APP files. .DMG is the compressed format of a program which may come as just a DMG or a DMG wrapped up in a .ZIP file.
You would need to double click on a ZIP file to expand it to a DMG then double click on the DMG to expand it into a working .APP file and then drag it to the Applications folder. Some programs have installers that walk you through the process and others don't. With the ones that don't you need to physically Drag the .APP file to the Applications folder to install it. The ones that do kind of walk you through the process you will still need to drag the app icon to the Applications folder but that will be done in its own window.Building Your App
To build and run your iOS, watchOS, or OS X app, choose a scheme and a run destination in the workspace toolbar, and click the Run button. Clicking the Stop button causes your app to quit.
If you are running an iOS or watchOS app, Xcode launches it either in Simulator or on a device connected to your Mac. If you are running an OS X app, Xcode launches it directly on your Mac.
Xcode displays any errors or warnings it encounters in the issue navigator, available by clicking in the navigator bar. If there are errors during the compilation or link phase, Xcode doesn’t run your code.Choosing a Scheme to Build Your App
A scheme is a collection of settings that specify the targets to build for a project, the build configuration to use, and the executable environment to use when the product is launched. When you open an existing project (or create a new one), Xcode automatically creates a scheme for each target. The default scheme is named after your project and includes settings to perform five actions:
*
Run the app.
*
Run unit tests against the target.
*
Profile the app’s performance characteristics.
*
Perform static analysis on the code.
*
Archive the app for distribution, such as sending to testers or submitting to the App Store.

Each action includes building the app as an executable product. To choose the scheme, use the Scheme menu in the Xcode workspace toolbar. (You’ll use the Scheme menu to choose a destination, too.) Choosing a Destination to Run Your App
When you build an app, the destination determines where the app runs after it’s built. For OS X apps, the destination is the Mac on which the app is built. For iOS or watchOS apps, the destination can be a provisioned device connected to the Mac, or Simulator. Installed as part of the Xcode tools, Simulator runs on your Mac and simulates an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch environment.
The Scheme menu lets you select a combination of scheme and destination, but the two settings are distinct. A scheme does not include a destination. In the screenshot above, Adventure iOS is selected as the scheme, and the iPhone Retina (4-inch) simulation environment is selected as the destination. As a result, the Adventure iOS scheme builds an iOS executable that runs on a simulated iPhone in OS Simulator. As shown below, the same scheme could be used to run the app on a different destination, such as a simulated iPad or a connected iOS device.
