Lab1: Familiarizing with the Linux Operating System Environment and
Terminal`
Lab Objective: To introduce students to the Linux Environment and usage of Linux terminal.
Task 1: When you open the terminal, what directory are you in by default? Use appropriate
command to print it.
OUTPUT:

Task 2: Go to /etc./apt directory and display the list of contents using appropriate commands.
OUTPUT:

Task 3: Tell who is logged into the Linux system using the terminal?

Task 4: Create a directory with your name on the Desktop while you are inside the Desktop
directory.
Task 5: Create a directory with your surname inside your name directory created in task 4 while
you are inside the root directory.

Question 1: What is the difference between absolute and relative path?

Absolute and relative paths describe the location of a file or directory within a file system. They represent a set
of directions for the OS to find a specific item
There are two types of paths:
 Absolute path:
An absolute path is the location of a file or directory specified from the root directory. It represents the
complete path from the start of the filesystem from the root directory.
Example:
An example of an absolute path in Linux is:
/home/user/documents/file.txt
 Relative path:
A relative path is the location of a file or directory relative to your current working directory. Unlike an
absolute path, the relative path doesn't start with a slash or drive letter since it doesn't start from the root
directory.
Example:
When a current working directory is /home/user/documents, and you want to reference a file
named file.txt in the same directory, use the following relative path:
file.txt
The system looks for the specified file in the current working directory.
