<note>
<title>Using the command line</title>
<p>Some of the instructions in this guide ask you to type commands into the
<em>command line</em> (Terminal). You can find the <app>Terminal</app> application in
the <gui>Activities</gui> overview.</p>
<p>If you are not familiar with using a command line, don’t worry — this
guide will direct you at each step. All you need to remember is that
commands are case-sensitive (so you must type them <em>exactly</em> as they
appear here), and to press <key>Enter</key> after typing each command to
run it.</p>
