The Raspberry Pi is a full computer, and it is possible to run it with a graphical user interface (GUI). However, we will primarily be interacting with the Pi via a command line interface. Underneath it's GUI, your computer also uses a command line interface. Let's start out with reviewing a few basic UNIX commands that we will be using throughout this tutorial on our own familiar laptops.

  1. Open a terminal.

  2. Examine the command prompt

  3. ls - List the contents of your current directory

  4. cd - Change directories

  5. cat - Print a file

  6. pwd - Print Working Directory

  7. sudo - Act as a Super User

  8. Other Unix commands

    Here is a Unix cheatsheet that shows other basic commands worth knowing about.
