I really dont know where to begin

-

i have never ever coded or written in life. taking intro logic course requires use program called logicola. professor swore couldnt work on mac, after following of instructions provided. taking challenge upon myself, tried work , successful. why here? 90% of class uses macs, , want create simple way them install app since can guarantee none of them know terminal app is. think want write script, not sure correct terminology. here steps want automate them:

open terminal
run: echo export path=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:\$path$'\n'export manpath=/opt/local/man:\$manpath | sudo tee -a /etc/profile
run: sudo port install wine-devel
run: cd desktop/logicola
run: wine lcsetup.exe

these steps needed install application. want create shortcut them launch application without having go terminal every time. command follows:

open terminal
run: cd ~/.wine/drive_c/program\ files/logicola
run: wine logicola.exe

when use word run:, mean input command line terminal. said, able manually, there way automate classmates? if can point me in right direction trying do, great. think lack terminology search. dont know if creating shell script, script, etc.

edit: using automater in have set open terminal, don't know how execute files have. have made 4 .txt files of each line of code/command (again forgive lack of knowing correct terminology), not sure right thing do, did chmod a+x (file name) make them executable. don't know how automater make them run.

appreciate help.
thanks,
walter
