Powershell command to Terminal

I’m trying to install mods for Morrowind openMW. I stop on step where I should run command in powershell (they have instructions only for Windows).

Powershell.exe (Terminal.app?) -executionpolicy bypass -File .\momw-folder-generator-I-heart-Vanilla-DC(mod name).ps1

When I just change poweshell.exe to Terminal.app it’s said “command not found”.

I’m on MacBook Pro early 2015 OS Maverick fully updated.

I have iTerms app

Could you please help me to make the same as on Windows command on MacOS

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.7

The command you are trying to run tells Powershell (a Windows terminal) to bypass the execution policy of Windows for the file provided after the -File switch. None of that applies to macOS and the security models for the two OS are completely different.

The Morrowind mod devs need to provide appropriate instructions for the platforms they support - "here's a Windows Powershell command, figure out its equivalent on macOS or a Linux distro" obviously doesn't cut it. For example - why does that file need you to bypass Windows' execution policy?
