Is there any way I can execute my programs in Terminal window on CLion on Mac like with say Visual Studio on Windows?

  • There's [this way of doing it for Linux](https://stackoverflow.com/a/43440347/1270789) so I presume it would be quite similar for the Mac, just substitute whatever the Mac terminal is called. – Ken Y-N May 10 '18 at 06:24
  • BTW, my research suggests that the "Executable" should point to `/usr/bin/open`. – Ken Y-N May 10 '18 at 06:30
  • I just tried and there's no open file in that directory or path. There is /usr/bin but not open. May it's called something else or I might be wrong – Saad Arshad May 10 '18 at 06:35

I don't understand. Why can't you simply:

  • open a terminal window
  • change the directory to the folder where CLion outputs the .exe file
  • run the .exe

That should be the general OS-agnostic process.

What part of it is stumping you on a Mac? We all want to help but you may have to give us more info before we can understand what you really need to know.
