It has been a while since I used macOS. However, how you start emacs in
a terminal depends on how emacs was installed and which version of
emacs.
Note that the emacs which macOS includes is VERY old (I think it is
Emacs 21). This is really too old to be useful these days. You need to
install a current version of Emacs. My recommendation would be to use
homebrew to do this. However, I fear, based on the questions ask, the
OPs familiarity of the OS is likely to make installing homebrew and then
emacs a bit challenging to do via email. Certainly would be off topic
for the org mode list. Possibly better help would be available via the
emacs help list. I would try to help further, but I don't have a working
macOS system at present, so cannot refresh/verify the steps to get
sufficient clarity to be helpful.
