Roppers Shell in a Browser

Waiting for boot to complete, please wait . . .

Getting Started in the Terminal

This is the first section of the Roppers Computing Fundamentals Course

whoami
- find out what user you are running as
echo "hello world!"
- echo will 'echo' the text you put in quotes after it
ls
- list the files in your current directory
ls -l
- list the files in your current directory, with more info like time!
echo "hello world!" > newfile.txt
- echo will redirect the text you submit into a new file named newfile.txt Use 'ls -l' to verify the creation!
cat newfile.txt
- cat will read the filename you choose, in this case newfile.txt

Check out what you can do with the up arrow to go back to previous commands you have run, or run the command 'history' to see everything you've done so far.

cat README
- cat a file on the box already which will tell you more commands to run

Personally, I'm a big fan of the 'sl' command which stands for 'steam locomotive'. Just because it's complicated stuff doesn't mean it can't be whimsical too!

Alright, enough playing around in the terminal for now, back to the course!
