Type the letters "cd", which is the command to "change directory"and then type a spacefollowed by the folder location the batch file is in. For example, if your batch file is located on the desktop of the username "Jeff", you would type:cd /Users/Jeff/Desktop. Don't forget a space between "cd" and the file's location. This changes the current directory to the new location you specified. That means typing the filename and extension, ending with .bat at the end. For example, if your batch file is named "install", then you would type install.bat into the command prompt. This will run the BAT file. If you see the same command prompt location as before and the cursor is blinking, the batch file has finished running. Note any errors that appear in the command prompt from running the batch file, as that may be helpful in troubleshooting something wrong the batch file's code.
