Basically it's just like it is in Linux - either type the application name from the command line (using Terminal, iTerm, or some other terminal app) or else from clicking on a graphical shortcut you've set up.

The main thing to remember is that you've got to launch X11 - it's not running by default. But in Linux that's basically the case (although with the newer desktop-oriented distros you can make it the default).
