-Terminal is a way to type commands to the Linux operating system, to navigate between directories (folders), copy files, run programs, and do many other useful things.
+== useful ChucK resources ==

-To open a terminal, right-click the mouse anywhere on the screen and select "New Terminal".

-A terminal will open, and a command line prompt will appear that identifies the computer (cmn#), your login name and the '''working directory''', which is the location in the directory structure from which you are navigating. After the prompt, you can type commands.

-For example, you can navigate around the file system by using the "change directory" command:
-'''cd pd-lab'''
-will navigate into your pd-lab directory.
-If you want to see your current location in the directory structure, type
-'''pwd'''
-which stands for "print working directory".
-If you want to see what files and folders are in the working directory, type the "list" command:
-'''ls'''
-* ''' How do I copy files from the course directory into my project directory?'''
-In a terminal, you can use Linux commands (based on Unix commands, tutorial:[http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/]) to copy files.
-The copy command, '''cp''', allows you to make a copy of one file to whatever location you specify.
-For example, if you have a project directory called "pd-lab" and you want to copy the "straightWire" Pd patch from the course examples directory, after the command prompt you would type exactly (including spaces):
-'''cp /usr/ccrma/web/html/courses/220a-fall-2007/pd/straightWire.pd .'''
-The period at the end indicates the location where the file will be copied is the '''working directory'''.
