When people document install procedures, they often want a way to refer to the installing user's HOME
directory. In this case, he/she used /home/username/...
, when $HOME/.local/bin/no-internet
or ~/.local/bin/no-internet
would have been clearer.
Replace username
with YOUR username (it is stored in the environment variable USER
), and
nano /home/$USER/.local/bin/no-internet
or use the HOME
environment variable to refer to your home directory ( this is better than using /home/$USER
, since user home directories are not required to be in /home
.
nano $HOME/.local/bin/no-internet
