Is there a way to switch between different tty from a Mac terminal? This would be an equivalent to the chvt command on Linux.

The screen command are available for mac. Usage here: How to use the screen command

Depending on what you are trying to achieve, you could also use tabs in the default terminal, or install something like iTerm where you can split windows.

If you need to split windows, check out tmux, which you can run on macOS and linux terminals.

  • I did not downvote but I get why you are getting downvoted. The problem is that your answer does not answer the question, you are suggesting a tool for other purpose. The question is about tty and how to change between them, in linux you have chvt but in macOS you don't. tmux does not replace or simulates what chvt does, that is interacting with the tty.
