→Part 1: Creating Directories
As previously mentioned, the '''root''' directory is the "'''starting point'''" in the Matrix file system, that the '''home''' directory is used to store all Matrix user accounts by their userid, and that '''your userid''' contained within the '''/home ''' directory represents '''<u>'''YOUR'''</u> home directory''' where you can create files (both directory files, text files, etc).
'''Perform the Following Steps:'''
# '''Login''' to your matrix account.<br><br># Issue a command to '''confirm''' that you are located in your home directory. <br>(You should know how to do this from the previous tutorial).<br><br>
# Issue the following Linux command: <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">mkdir uli101</span><br><br>'''NOTE:''' You should always confirm that you have created a directory.<br>This can be done by issuing the ls command.<br><br>[[Image:directory-structure-4.png|thumb|right|350px|'''Creating''' and '''Confirming''' the Creation of a Directory.]]
# Issue the following Linux command: <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">ls uli101</span><br><br>There are no contents that are contained in this newly-created directory; therefore, no contents appear. A useful option '''-d''' can be used to confirm that the actual <u>directory</u> has been created as opposed to viewing the contents of the directory.<br><br>
