No such file or directory

[kwarteng10]

Hi, I got MOOSE installed and i tried creating an application with the command: cd ~/projects
However, i got an error message saying: bash: cd: /root/projects: No such file or directory
I checked the MOOSE folder and there is a file named projects
Any help as to how to get this solved?
Thank you

Hello

cd ~/projects means change directory to projects in the home (~) directory.
Except you created the projects directory in the moose directory instead of the home directory.

You could restart the tutorial from the beginning to correct that.
We recommend the directory structure to be something like:

(moose) guillaume@ubuntu1:~/projects$ pwd
/home/guillaume/projects
(moose) guillaume@ubuntu1:~/projects$ ll
total 136
drwxrwxr-x 18 guillaume guillaume  4096 Apr 13 18:54 ./
drwxr-xr-x 29 guillaume guillaume  4096 Apr 14 22:47 ../
drwxrwxr-x 20 guillaume guillaume  4096 Apr 13 19:03 moose/
drwxrwxr-x 20 guillaume guillaume  4096 Apr 13 19:03 your_application/

with moose and your application in the projects folder under the home directory.

This is not a moose issue, you will find more help on linux help forums.

There seems to be a bigger issue than that... @kwarteng10 are you using the root user? It's really not a good idea. I would suggest adding a "regular" user and logging in with that.

How do I add a regular user
Sorry I am new to Ubuntu, so I seem to be lost

You mean I am running from a wrong directory?
