Obviously, to run the script, you don’t have to type any command in a command line 🙂
Eg, on macos, just open Finder and double click any script that has the `.command` extension and the executable bit set. Same concept of executable scripts exists on windows and most linux DEs.

The REPL is a command line, so it’s odd to use one and fear the other.
I was surprised to hear that some _only_ use notebooks and never touch the REPL. Still, if using a command line is too scary, then surely so is writing Julia code?

I have been using MacOS for over 15 years and I haven’t used once the .command file, actually it is the first time I learn about it. Anyway, either you or someone shall prepare this script file for you. It seems even harder than just open the terminal and run `julia script.jl`?
