Your question:

To start a new shell means to start a new environment:

Close your command line window
Or better for a newbie: log-out completely
And then login again

And then try it out again.

The installation on MacOSX (which I know only from hearsay)
adds a configuration to the start-up-scripts for your windows
environment and your shell.

A shell is a command-interpreter.

Setup of X11/Apple Windows and shells can be done in many ways.
This is the simple approach.
