It is useful for each user to know how to use the Terminal application (command line) in Linux to create a file. Upon completion of this process, you can use one of the built-in text editors of the OS to make changes to the new file.
Where to begin?
To create a file on Linux, first open a command prompt. To do this, press “Menu”, then find the “Terminal” application, whose icon resembles a black square with a white symbol on it. Click on it. As a rule, it is located in the panel to the left of the menu window. You can also click the search button at the top of this window, and then enter the “Terminal” query to search for it.
