At 12 supply, build a barracks right next to the supply depot.By putting a supply depot here, you are making a direct rush impossible.
Each base should have a natural terrain “choke point” which is the primary entrance into your base.
Build a supply depot at the choke point in front of your base. Make sure to waypoint the minerals so that they automatically get to work after they’re created. Crank out SCV’s until you reach 10 units.

Whatever the reason you choose to play Terran, the Starcraft 2 tactics and strategies to be successful with this race are not that complicated. Perhaps it’s because the game comes with the Terran campaign by default and you “grow up” playing the Terrans so you really know how the units work and operate. Probably it’s because they’re the closest to our technology tree and, therefore, easiest to understand. New players to Starcraft 2 tend to gravitate towards the Terran race.
