He told you how to do it, just type the line into a terminal window.
You're not doing it *before* starting Evo, you're doing it *in order
to* start Evo (i.e. quit Evo before doing this). Not as root, just in
your normal account.

There's really nothing mysterious about this. It's a perfectly normal
Shell command line. The "CAMEL_DEBUG=" part is setting the value of an
environment variable that means something to Evo once it starts, and
the "&>log.txt" part is just sending the command's diagnostic output to
a local file for logging.
