Mac Commands, ./configure

What is ./configure!?
I first saw this when I was configuring my PHP and it took me some googling to understand what ‘ ./ ‘ and ‘configure’ means.

Here is the answer.
In terminal, When you are at a specific folder named /usr/, ‘ ./ ‘  just means inside this specific folder and ‘configure’ is the Unix Executable File name.

In summary, it means that there must be an Unix Executable File called configure in the folder /usr/.
