I use the default Ubuntu calculator rather a lot, but to use it I have to use the Unity search feature to find it and then open it. I have tried to open it in Terminal with:
calculator
And:
Calculator
But neither of those seem to launch, so how do I launch the calculator through Terminal? What command do I use? Also, as my Unity Dock is rather full, it's not really an option just to put a link to it there.
dc
is the classic, and in some ways similar to a desktop calculator... but IMO that's not really good workflow; I'd recommend the REPL of a modern functional language likepython
or Haskell (ghci
). Those can do anything a traditional calculator can, plus much, much more.
