In the next few lessons, you are going to learn how to use the terminal on your Raspberry Pi and work
with some of the most useful command line tools.
So great!
You can now use a Pi as a sensor to detect movement with your Raspberry Pi.
We will come back to that when we do the final project.
Now let's learn how to use the terminal.
Everything we did for now didn't require us to use the terminal.
We could create folders, files, write Python programs.
We could save them, execute them all that using some graphical tools available for you.
Thanks to the Raspberry Pi OS desktop.
But using the terminal is something you have to learn.
If you want to step up your game and go further with Raspberry Pi, with programming, and also with
Unix systems.
Also, some of the functionalities on the Raspberry Pi are only available if you can use the terminal.
At first it may seem like something very hard to understand, but in fact it's surprisingly easy.
And as you will see with just a few commands, you can accomplish a lot of things and you will be able
to create files to run Python scripts and much, much more.
And it won't be that difficult.
The only thing it requires is a little bit of practice.
Note that I will keep things simple here.
This course is not a complete course about how to use a terminal with all the available commands.
I will show you the main ones that you will use the most so that you are comfortable with the terminal,
and you can complete the final project of this course.
All right.
And now enough talking.
Let's start to work with this terminal.
