Question

Please list the command to finish the following steps:

- First switch to the root directory

- Use command *cd* to switch to the directory where you store your homework code.

Answer 1

Root Directory:

• Linux operating systems all directories and files are stored in root directory.
• Root Directory is designated by a forward slash ( / ).
• The word root by itself refers to the root user or root account, i.e., The Administrator's account,
• "The Administrator's of System" is the only user that has complete access to every command and file on the system.

To switch to the root directory use
$ cd /

To switch to the directory where you store your homework code use
$ cd ~/LOCATION OF THE homework code

Example:
"Suppose homework code file is stored on Desktop in Homework folder" then use

$ cd /
$ cd ~/Desktop // Path will be the Desktop.
$ cd "Homework" // Will go to the Homework Folder where your "homework code" is present.

IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHAT DIRECTORY YOU ARE IN THEN USE

$ pwd // Shows what directory you are in

IF YOU WANT TO MOVE ONE DIRECTORY UP THEN USE

$ CD .. // Moves one directory up (From Homework folder to Desktop)
