Never thought I might have to ask THIS, but this is my first linux installation, and I can't find the Terminal. How do I open it?

And is there any way to open the bash from the file explorer, starting with the file explorer's path as working path?

Thank you, Simon L.

  • I assume you mean the command line terminal? If so, it's in the launcher menu. In Unity I believe you'll find it if you type 'terminal' into the launcher search window (same goes for KDE). Nov 6, 2011 at 14:43
  • This link might help. You need to install "nautilus-open-terminal" and "nautilus-terminal" plugins. Oct 26, 2014 at 16:10

The way I do it is to install the nautilus-open-terminal package, (and then restart nautilus):

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
killall nautilus

Then you can right click on a folder, or in empty space and you will have the option to "Open in Terminal". If you select that option a new terminal will be opened with the working directory set to that folder.

  • To open terminal press super key or click on ubuntu icon on the left side then type terminal enter image description here

  • To Embed Terminal To Nautilus File Browser (explorer)

You will need Nautilus Terminal

You can install Nautilus Terminal using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:flozz/flozz
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nautilus-terminal

Once installed, Open terminal and use this command to restart Nautilus to apply the changes.

nautilus -q

You will see the embed terminal look like this

In case you would like to remove this extension, use the following commands:

sudo apt-get remove nautilus-terminal
sudo apt-get udpate
