How to Choose a Terminal#

datashuttle’s graphical interface can run in almost any terminal—but native Windows and macOS terminals may display with rendering errors. See below for recommended terminals for these operating systems.

If you are using Linux, the native terminal will work without issue.

Choosing a terminal for Windows or macOS#

Windows

For Windows, we recommend using Terminal—Window’s own high-powered terminal available for free on the Microsoft Store.

datashuttle will run in Command Prompt (cmd.exe), Powershell (ps.exe) or Anaconda Prompt, but may display with rendering errors.

macOS

On macOS we recommend using next-generation terminal emulators such as Warp or Wezterm. Both come with easy-to-use installers.

datashuttle will run on the native macOS terminal but may display with rendering errors.
