Basic Debian Command line Tutorial - episode4 - 09-21-2017

Hello this will be a basic Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux mint command tutorial. You will find this very simple and similar to the Windows cmd.

Print working directory:

Code:
pwd

Change directories:

Code:
cd /home/username/Documents

Create folder :

Code:
mkdir this_is_a_folder

Show contents in the directory:

Code:
ls

Command line text editor:

Code:
nano this_is_a_file.txt

Download a package:

Code:
sudo apt-get package_name

Update :

Code:
sudo apt-get update

Upgrade :

Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade

Now you know the basics of creating a file, navigating the filesystem, and downloading a package in Linux.

Pretty decent cheat sheet for new Debian users. Should probably be using apt over apt-get nowadays though.

Also don't forget quotations over directory paths if you're using a space.
