I want to be able to open any given app from the terminal, now I have tried
osascript -e 'open app "Calendar"'
I have tried for Mail, Calendar and Slack.. Slack acctually opens but it does generate a error msg in terminal.. The two others generates errors and doesn't open. The errors are Execution errors.
Now I tried with AppleScript, is bash better?
How can this be done?

You mean open an app using Terminal using AppleScript/JavaScript? Kindly edit the question to clarify. Else you can useopen -a "app_name.app"to open any app using Terminal.

You can use open’s -a option:
open -a Mail
You can specify the application path instead:
open /Applications/Mail.app
If you want to use AppleScript (osascript from command line), open app isn't quite equivalent. Instead, you can use:
osascript -e 'tell application "Mail" to activate'
