so you really need to know a little about your operating system. do you
expect to operate your camera with that little knowledge of it? how would
you turn it on.
a text window is exactly that since you must be using a desktop graphical
environment or would not be able to run darktable.
darktable-cli is a program but is not the same as darktable
"-d opencl" are parameters which you want the program, darktable, to use
when it is operating.
"<" is a less-than symbol, but it is also used to indicate a substitute
word where one would be expected to place a different work, ie:
/home/<your.user.name>/xxx
and these are as basic to your operating system as setting the aperture on
your camera, or using a key to start the engine on your automobile.
we will undoubtedly be unable to assist you until you are able to
communicate with us in terms we both understand. if you ask specific
questions which can be answered in some other manner, please try.
