In the process of administering a virtual and dedicated server on Ava HOST in Linux OS, you may have the opportunity. Creating a new folder in Ubuntu is a simple and basic operation that helps you organize your files and directory structure on your computer. In this article, we will look at several ways to create a new folder in the Ubuntu operating system.

Creating a folder through the file manager

Let’s look at the easiest way in Ubuntu – using a file manager. Ubuntu uses Nautilus by default.

1. First, open your file manager. This can be done by clicking on the “Files” icon in the launcher.
2. Next is to search and go to the directory in which you want to create a new folder.
3. Right-click anywhere in the file manager window and select “Create a new folder” from the context menu.
4. Enter a name for the new folder and press “Enter” to complete the process.

Creating a folder via terminal

If you prefer to use the command line, you can also create a new folder using the terminal.

Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.
Navigate to the directory where you want to create the new folder using the cd command. For example:

cd /path/to/your_directory

Use the mkdir command (from “make your_directory”) to create a new directory. For example:

arduino

Creating subfolders

The mkdir command can also be used to create subfolders. If you want to create a folder inside another folder, use the -p option:

mkdir -p parent_folder/Your_folder

This command will create both the parent folder and a new folder within it.
