In Class Exercise:

Unzipping the downloaded file

To see what has been unzipped in a nicer format you can use the command ls -lh ch* to see the files within the directory that start with the letters β€˜ch’.

To see how much disk space is being used you can use the command df

Playing around with cowsay using Ubuntu

Three Shell Utilities:

pwd: The first command I chose to use is pwd. This command will print your current working directory allowing you to see exactly where you are working.

mkdir: The second command I chose to use is mkdir. This command creates a new directory which is specified by the user.

date: The third command I chose to use is date. This command is pretty self explanatory as it allows the user to see the current date and time/time zone.

Install a program:

The program package that I decided to install was ranger. Ranger is a console file manager with VI key bindings that provides a user friendly and minimalistic interface to view your directory hierarchy. This would make changing your current directory and finding certain files and other items in your working directory much easier.
