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 ‘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.
