Raspberry Pi Commands

Sudo – generally you put sudo in front of everything that requires permissions to run, such as mkdir. sudo raspi-config this will give you a terminal based configuration interface. Very handy when using Putty remotely. Filesystem Commands ls The ls command lists the content of the current directory (or one that is specified). It can
