I'm learning bash code, and if I try to 

cd /Home

I have this error:

bash: cd: Home: Not a directory

If I run:

ls -lh (in /)

The Home "directory" has these features:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 479K Sep 23 17:09 Home

Is it normal or I did a mistake?

Regards.

  • Are you sure it's 'Home', and not 'home'? cd /home should work, but /Home really does not exist.

  • Home directory should always be lowercase /home not /Home

  • You are right! I usually get into home with 'cd ~' and the correct directory is whit lowercase "h". I have a .deb file called Home that I thought it was the directory!

To get into your "Home directory" you need to run

cd ~

or

cd $HOME

or

cd /home/$USER

Home directory of the current user is located at /home/<user_name>. The current user name is stored in USER variable. The path to the home directory is stored in HOME variable.

  • You can also just type cd in most places.
