Terminal

Stage 2 of Programming4 lessons

The terminal is another way to use your computer: instead of clicking, you type orders. Four lessons, in order, and every command on Windows and on Linux, which aren't always written the same.

Start with 2.2.1

  1. Lesson 2.2.1: Opening it and moving around

    The terminal is another way to use your computer: instead of clicking, you type commands.

  2. Lesson 2.2.2: Files

    Everything you do with files in the file explorer can be done by typing, and almost always the same way on both systems.

  3. Lesson 2.2.3: Options and help

    A command does more when you give it options. Which ones it has, its help tells you.

  4. Lesson 2.2.4: Installing programs

    Every system comes with a package manager: you tell it which program you want and it downloads and installs it.
