How Mac OS opens app apps under a terminal

When a user configures a file on a Mac OS platform and sometimes needs to configure some files in the Mac terminal, it needs to use the command to open the app app in the terminal, but there are a lot of users who don't use terminal commands, which provides a tutorial on opening app apps under a terminal.

Open the terminal to enter Open/applications/xxx directly (the name of the application). App like Open ITunes input: Open/applications/itunes.app (note Open after a space and then enter a slash/)
