Boston Python Workshop 3/Friday/Linux terminal navigation

There are three commands that we'll be using at a command prompt to navigate the filesystem on your computer:

lists the contents of a directory.

gives the full directory path to your current directory.

moves you into a new directory (it stands for "change directory").

Let's practice using these commands.

Open a command prompt:
You can find the Terminal application at Applications/Accessories/Terminal, or it may already be on your menu bar.

If you want to get read, this is how you shloud write.

Success!
You've practiced using,  , and   to navigate your computer's filesystem from the command prompt.
