Prepare Your System for Tutorials
Before jumping into the tutorials, run the following commands to set up your system for working with the provided examples. Follow these steps:.
- Download the sample files by right-clicking on this link and selecting “Copy link address.”
- Open your terminal and use the following commands, replacing
Your_URL
with the actual URL you just copied:
# Navigate to the home directory
cd home
# Install wget for downloading files and unzip for extracting ZIP archives
apt install wget -y
apt install unzip -y
# Download the ZIP file from the URL you just copied
wget Your_URL
# Unzip the downloaded file
unzip files.zip
# List the files
ls
Note: If you encounter a “command not found” error when attempting to run a command, it means the required program is not installed. In such cases, you need to install the program first.
For example, we installed a program called ‘wget’ to download sample files here. You will learn more about package management in this tutorial.
