Can somebody tell me how to make a terminal app for linux

Question

How to make a linux app and which language is necessary (i am comfortable with cpp) remember an app not a shell script or python script .

Answer 1

A compiled program can run in terminal, not just shell or python scripts. Write a hello world in C:

# include <stdio.h>

void main() {
printf("Hello World!\n");
}

Compile it in the Linux Terminal:
$ gcc -o hello hello.c

And run it like this:
$ ./hello

In order to run it from any directory, you must save it to the $PATH

Answer 2

Like any basic linux command?
Run as root
then move your app to
/usr/bin
All linux app( commands) are stored in there
So yeah move it to there
then test with terminal
Have fun and don't make your computer broken <3

Answer 3

An application that runs from the terminal? Like vim, etc?

Any executable (some.o file) kept in the directory /usr/local/bin can be directly run from the terminal by just typing its name.
