Using the exercise files

“

- [Instructor] I've included an Exercise Files ZIP Archive for this course. To use this archive, you'll want to download it onto your virtual machine. Browse to the course using Firefox in your VM and download the Exercise Files ZIP Archive. Once that's downloaded, click on Library, and then Downloads, and Show Downloads Folder. The file manager will appear showing the Downloads directory. Then double-click the Exercise Files ZIP Archive and click on Extract. When prompted for a destination, choose Home and then click on Extract again. Now you should have a folder in your Home directory named Exercise Files. We'll need to go to this directory using the command line. To do so, close your windows and then open a terminal. Now, type cd ~/ExerciseFiles and hit Enter. The tilde is a shortcut to our home directory so we don't have to type in the entire path. You can see your entire path by running print working directory. To do so type in PWD and hit Enter. Once you're in the Exercise Files directory, verify its contents by typing in LS. You should see a directory for each chapter of the course that has exercise files.
