Linus CLI Basics 1.2 guided exercise

Hi everyone, pls am having a problem with Linus basic 1.2 guided exercise. Am at part 1 Navigation, everything was going smoothly until i got to (no 12) when i tried to type cd ~ to return home (/home/cybrary). i noticed that i couldn’t get same answer, in order to make sure it wasn’t an error i had to go back and did it again like 5 times before coming to seek for help. Please help put me through.

You should do you work on the labwork directory. You must have missed this step in Part 2:

So in answer to the question…

After you navigate to the root (/) directory by playing with cd ../../../.. you then cd to home (cd ~). That’s the end of Part 1. Now in Part 2, you make a new directory (mkdir labwork) and, here’s the important bit, you change directory into the labwork directory (cd labwork). Only then do you start creating new files etc.

Ok. Thanks for the Response, let me try more.

Another question please! Am confused on where to start with in the part 2. should i continue from where i stopped on the part 1, or am to create another window terminal for the part 2 work?

Solved! i later found my way and solve it. Thanks!
