How to open Gparted terminal?

I read this doc of gparted to recover from booting issues when a partition is moved. To test the command grub on gparted terminal, I want to open the terminal but not finding a way from my Ubuntu 13.04. When I run sudo gparted & on my shell terminal, it opens GUI and so I can't test the commands. How to open the terminal?

Why not? Yes There was, it's parted. you can use it in terminal. just install Gparted with following the command and then use it in terminal by running parted

sudo apt-get install gparted

GParted is a graphical (plus) front end to the libparted library used by the Parted project. If you want to use the command line then use parted instead (note: no g in front of name).

just use sudo parted to start it.

Here is all list of command in parted:

$ sudo parted
GNU Parted 2.3

Those instructions are telling you to open a terminal and use the grub console.

GParted doesn't have its own terminal or console mode.
