The terminal on Linux machines is the text-only environment for the computer. While I'm not familiar with the software you're talking about, to start my PHP software I type a similar command in said terminal.

If you're using windows, try typing it in at the command prompt (start menu--> accessories--> command prompt). The command prompt is the windows version of the Linux terminal.

Since most web servers use a Unix operating system, of which Linux operating systems are based off of, it's possible you're using a program originally designed for Linux and then adapted for windows, in which case they might have just said 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt'.
