I’m trying to connect the server using telnet, but when I enter telnet localhost 8000. It shows the error of telnet not found. I wrote my code in C and ran it on macOS terminal. Am I supposed to install something before I can use it?
Problem is solved: Thank you for all your help! Installed telnet on the terminal. It’s my first time using StackOverflow so I’m not sure how to mark this question solved.
>Solution :
Yes you would need to install telnet to use it on your mac. You can also try using an alternative tool, that comes pre-installed on macOS machines. It is called netcat and you can do the following:
nc -vz localhost 8000
If the command above is not good enough, you can install telnet on your mac by following the tutorial that can be found here:

More precisely, the section titled:
Installing Telnet in MacOS with Homebrew
You will need to install homebrew (it is a package manager for MacOS, similar to yum or apt in linux).
