# Use a text editor like vi or nano to create the text file called '''~/.bashrc''' (eg. <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">vi ~/.bashrc</span>)<br><br>If you are using the nano text editor, refer to notes on text editing in a previous week in the course schedule.<br><br>
