In this tutorial we’ll be getting familiar with basic use of the Raspberry Pi terminal. We’ll cover navigating the file-system, making directories, writing and editing text files, and just touch on the use of wildcards.
To get started with this tutorial your Pi could be plugged into a monitor, keyboard and mouse, or you could be accessing it via SSH if that’s already been setup.
If you’re accessing your Pi via SSH then you’re naturally already in a terminal session. If you’re working directly on your Pi, open up a terminal session. You can do this either by
- finding the Terminal icon in the Application Launch Bar
- clicking the Pi (start) button > Accessories > Terminal.
