# '''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 /home/yourSenecaID/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>
# Issue the following Linux command: <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">ls -d uli101</span><br><br>You should now see just the directory listed. You can also combine the '''-d''' and '''-l''' options to provide more detail regarding the newly-created directory.<br><br>
