16.2.1  Creating Directory

 

In the Raspberry Pi system, all data is stored in a directory, so the directory must be created before saving the data.

To create a directory in Shell, you can use the following command.

 

[Command Format]

   This creates a directory at the specified location.

16.2.1.2    Processing in Desktop Window

 

You can easily create folders using the [File Manager] in Desktop window.

 

Run the program and select the working folder you want to create the folder in the Directory Tree on the left. In this case, we will work with the "testdata" folder. Then, you can do the same thing by selecting menu File à Create New àFolder, or using the menu Create New à Folder from the popup menu that appears when you click right-mouse button on the right screen of the selected working folder.

Then, a pop-up screen to specify a name for the new folder appears. If you enter the desired folder name here and continue processing, the desired folder is created.
