Of course there are great guides to Linux and Unix out there. Here I've tried to just explain the symbols, programs, and concepts that I had to learn in order to install flooxs.
Where am I?
- how to open a terminal
- bash vs cshell (and also tcl) are scripting languages
- pwd and `pwd` with backwards quotes
- ls - list
- cd - change directory
- cp - copy
- What is the difference between a "directory" and a "folder"?
- symbols for important directories - . .. ~ /
Who am I?
- root is a person (sudo)
Viewing and Editing Files
Finding Files or Text in Files
Executing Programs
Know Your Computer
Stuff You'll be Doing A Lot
- environment variables
- comments in scripts (#) vs comments in c++ (//), a programing language
- download, configure, and compile (make)
