1. Meet the Terminal

← Back to Linux Mint Training

Start with three commands: pwd, ls, and cd. Think of the terminal as a very direct way to tell Linux what to do.

Illustration

Try these commands

pwd
ls -lah
cd Downloads
cd ..
Tip: Start by reading the command. Then predict what it will do before pressing Enter.
Safety: Never paste a command you do not understand when it contains sudo, rm, disk/partition commands, or redirects to important files.
