Execute Linux Commands and Manage Packages

By completing this course, learners will be able to execute essential Linux commands, manage directories and files, search and filter system information, install software packages, and edit configuration files using Nano and Vim. Learners will strengthen their command-line confidence and develop practical skills required for daily Linux administration. The course covers directory navigation, file modification, content viewing, copying, moving, and creating output with commands such as cat, cp, mv, and echo. Learners also work with pipes, grep, locate, updatedb, and man pages to find information and process command results efficiently. Package-management lessons demonstrate how to install, update, verify, and remove software using yum and rpm. The final section introduces Nano and Vim, including editing modes, writing changes, saving files, and safely quitting the editor. What makes this course unique is its task-oriented approach. Instead of studying commands separately, learners apply them through realistic file-management, package-installation, and text-editing activities that build job-ready Linux administration skills.
