Create new directory linux

To create a new directory in Linux, you can use the mkdir command. Here's how:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Type the following command, replacing "newdir" with the name you want to give your new directory:

   mkdir newdir

3. Press Enter to execute the command.

The mkdir command will create a new directory with the specified name. If you want to create a directory with a specific path, you can specify the path along with the directory name. For example:

mkdir /path/to/newdir

This will create a new directory named "newdir" in the specified path.

You can also use the -p option with mkdir to create the directory and any parent directories that don't already exist. For example:

mkdir -p /path/to/newdir/subdir

This will create the directory "newdir" and its subdirectory "subdir" in the specified path, even if the parent directories don't already exist.

Note: If you want to create a directory with a specific permissions, you can use the -m option with mkdir. For example:

mkdir -m 755 newdir

This will create the directory "newdir" with the specified permissions (in this case, 755, which means the owner has read, write, and execute permissions, the group has read and execute permissions, and others have read and execute permissions).
