Welcome to the dark world where most IT people live

  • This is a gui free world
    • If you don't know what a gui is please quietly close the page and go buy a slurpee
    • If you don't know what a slurpee is we feel sorry for you.

Basic Commands

Changing Ownership

There are many ways to do this. Half of them may be more clever.

sudo chown walt:walt /path/to/filename

This will make the file filename belong to the user walt and the group walt. Usually we change the group and user at the same time.

OR

sudo chown 777 /path/to/directory/

Adding the -R flag after the chown will recusre into directories and files.

Changing Permissions

This is very similar except we use chmod instead of chown
