I don’t understand what you mean by “run Unix commands.” You have to have a Unix operating system installed on the computer to use Unix commands. If you mean run Unix commands for another remote computer, you’ll need something like ssh (or a Windows like puTTy), and an account on the remote machine. There is also a package of Unix-like commands available for windows. Microsoft made a toolkit called Unix Tools for Windows, or something like that. Also, do a google on “cygwin.” This is an open source package of Unix-like tools for Windows.
