Hello please answer the following linux question for me thank you!

1. Open up a terminal. Type “pwd” to confirm your working directory is something like “/home/cct”. Then type “ls” to display the list of directories. Now we want to create a directory to put some files in. Type the following commands cct@cct-vm:~$ mkdir Lab2 cct@cct-vm:~$ ls If everything goes well, you should see a new directory called “Lab2”.

2. To get into this new directory, use the following command cct@cct-vm:~$ cd Lab2 You can type “pwd” to find out where you are. The “pwd” command tells you your present working directory. Now that you are inside Lab2, create 2 more directories inside Lab2 (ex: “Apple” and “Orange”). We can enter and exit from a directory using “cd” command. Assuming you are currently in /Lab2 (use “pwd” to check), you can enter into the Orange directory by doing a “cd Orange” and get out of the Orange back to Lab2 by typing “cd ../”.

Question 1. Try to create a new directory with the same name as an existing one. What is the error message you see?

3. Next, we want to put stuff into the directories you have created. Type this command: cct@cct-vm:~/Lab2$ echo “Hello world” > hello.file You can copy hello.file into a directory by using the “cp” command. Assuming you are currently in the Lab2 directory, copying the file into a directory called Orange, the command is: cct@cct-vm:~/Lab2$ cp hello.file Orange/ If you want to move the file (rather than copying it), the command to use is “mv”. 4. To delete a file, use the “rm” command. To delete a directory, you will need to the “-r” flag cct@cct-vm:~/Lab2$ rm –r Orange

Question 2. Try deleting a file that does not exist. What happens?

Question 3. Some of the commands we used today are: “pwd”, “mkdir”, “cd”, “ls”, “cp” and “mv”. Explain in your words what each command does.
