How to Move in Unix
Because Unix is a command-line-based operating system, there is no graphical interface for a user to work with. Hence, you can't double-click on folders to move around to different directories on your Unix-based system. What you can do, however, is move around on the screen using the Change Directory (CD) command.

Tips & Warnings
Typing "CD" alone and pressing "Enter" moves you to the home directory for your installation.
If you don't remember what directory you're in, type "pwd" to get information on where you are.
