I was looking for Terminal in Applications/Utilities but there is not such a folder in there. As this is my first Mac, I really do not know what to do to find it. Do you know if this version of OS has Terminal or not? If not, what should I do.

Thank you for your answers. I really got to find it!

That would be it's location.

If it's not in the Utilities folder and not found by doing a search, then the previous owner apparently deleted it. If they deleted Terminal, there's no telling what else they deleted or otherwise modified. I'd suggest a fresh install of OS X. Hopefully, they delivered the original install discs along with the computer.

If not - you may want to consider upgrading to 10.7 or 10.8.
