Hi @JENICIDE-1029

The .cshtml file format might not be recognized by your OS, so in the text editor that you are using you need to go to File -> Open and choose Index.cshtml from the Pages directory.

Hey @adamsitnik

Thank you so much for getting back to me, I really appreciate it! Is text editor the same thing as Terminal?

This is my absolute first time doing this on my mac, I am used to using Visual Studio 2019 on a Windows virtual desktop but I no longer have access to it and am trying to learn how to do it here so any other tips or suggestions would be phenomenal. Thank you for your time.

Best, Jen

Hello @JENICIDE-1029

Is text editor the same thing as Terminal?

No, text editor are things like Notepad or in case of macOS TextEdit.

I am used to using Visual Studio 2019

In such a case you should give a try to Visual Studio Code.
