(BTW, this assumes that you have the samba client software installed on your pi)

Means use the username fred and password foo (parameters) to make the shared drive called homes on the Windows server at 192.168.1.99 (parameter) appear in the directory tree at the point /mnt/net (target) using the Server Message Block Filing System (the -F switch). " ls -l /home/brian" means List in Long Format (the -l switch) the directory (target) /home/brian mount -F smbfs /mnt/net Target (The thing that the command will be applied to).Į.g. Parameters (Things that the command needs to know in order to work) and a Switches (single letters, preceded by a hyphen that adjust what the command does), | is used to denote OR or Optional so in the line above we read that a Command can be used on its own but may be followed by are often used in Syntax guides to indicate that the surround a place for a command rather than an actual command. The guidance given by "man" is sometimes a bit formal to the point that it could be said, "if you think you know a command then go to the command's man page in order to find out that you don't really".

If you want to know how to use commands without using the Internet then use man (short for manual).įrom the CLI to be sent to a page of guidance. In this wiki entry, each command has a link to the Wikipedia entry for that command. To find the syntax for a command do an Internet search for the command or find a Bash Quick Reference Card. There are Lots of shells out there and the one on this Raspberry Pi is Bash Wikipedia Bash Entry. To use the CLI you need to know commands and the default command set is contained in the "shell" you are using. Each program has an original author who is acknowledged at the bottom of the man page. Most of the commands described in this page are the kind of house keeping commands that come with bash. It just means that you have not installed "foo" yet. This means that if a command you run and expect to work returns the message When you add programs to your pi, you will be able to run more commands. Most of the commands listed here run programs that give you the ability to command the system to do something. When you type into the terminal you are running programs. The quick answer to "why do I need the CLI?" then, is that the CLI is going to be a very useful tool for Raspberry Pi users. The author ( Brian 09:27, (UTC)) is actually a Fedora user most of the time. It is not meant to advocate this distribution in particular. The commands here have mostly been described and tested using debian linux which at the time of writing (April 2012) was the version of linux that was most active in the RPi world.

Windows and Mac users are generally guided away from the CLI hence this Quick start Guide.

Also a Raspberry Pi doing some task or other may well have no screen at all, and you may manage it remotely using a remote log in to a terminal. In addition there are situations when you would rather not run the X Windowing system, because it takes up a lot of processor power and memory. You need the CLI because there are many things that either can't be be done using GUIs, or are much easier using the CLI. You can bring this up from the start menu usually it is called something like X Terminal. Most of us will immediately type "startx" to bring up the GUI, but even when you are using the GUI you can still get a CLI in the form of a terminal window. For some OS distributions, the windowing system is started up automatically when the machine starts up, but if not then you are in the Command Line Interface, which allows you to type commands and get information back. There are lots of different window managers, for example the one being used at time of writing with the Debian "squeeze" OS is LXDE. A graphical user interface (GUI) for Linux is provided by the X Windowing System, together with a window manager.

The Raspberry Pi operating systems that you can download for your SD card are all versions of Linux.
