This tutorial introduces the basic navigation commands, and will show you how to create directories (folders) and move in and out of them.
Switching to the Bash Shell
By default, your student account using the shell called tcsh. We will be using another shell that is more friendly: bash.
Open a terminal or console window and connect to aurora.smith.edu with your class account. Here we assume that your class account is of the form 231b-xx where xx are two unique letters associated with your personal account.
Run these commands at the Linux prompt:
cd cp .login .login.bak cp ~231b/.login .login
What this does is to copy the a file from your instructors account (~231b) into your account (~231b-xx). This file is read automatically every time you login to your account and will set the shell to bash.
- logout of your account
- log back in. You should see something like this:
231b-xx@aurora.smith.edu's password: Welcome to Linux Mint 17 Qiana (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64) Welcome to Linux Mint * Documentation: http://www.linuxmint.com Last login: Thu Feb 2 16:59:49 2017 from 131.229.199.140 bash: setenv: command not found 231b-xx@aurora ~ $
