In the next few lessons,
you are going to learn how to use the terminal on
your Raspberry Pi and work with some of the most useful command line tools.
So great, you can now use a PIR sensor to detect movement with your Raspberry Pi.
We will come back to that when we do the final project.
Now, let's learn how to use the terminal.
Everything we did for now didn't require us to use the terminal.
We could create folders, virus,
write Python programs, save them, and execute them,
all of that using some graphical tools available for you,
thanks to the Raspberry Pi OS desktop.
But using the terminal is something you have to learn if you want to step up your game
and go further with Raspberry Pi programming and Unix systems.
Also, some of the functionalities on the Raspberry Pi, only the label.
If you can use the terminal.
It may seem like something very hard to understand, but in fact,
it is surprisingly easy, as you will see,
with just a few commands,
you can accomplish a lot of things.
And you will be able to create files,
run Python scripts, and do much, much more.
And it won't be that difficult.
And the only thing it requires it a little bit of practice.
If you remember at the beginning of the course during the installation section,
we used some commands in R terminal to setup the Raspberry Pi.
Well, now you are going to see how it really
works so you can understand what you did back then.
Note that I will keep things simple.
This course is not a complete course about how to
use a terminal with all the available commands.
I will show you the main ones that you'll use the most to be able to be
comfortable with the terminal and to complete the final project of this course.
Alright, and now enough talking,
let's start to work with this terminal.
