Create a New Directory

mkdir -or- /usr/bin/mkdir

The command used to create a new directory in a Linux environment is "mkdir" which stands for "make directory".

To use the command, simply type "mkdir" followed by the name of the new directory you want to create. For example, if you want to create a new directory called "my_new_directory", you would enter:

bashCopy code
mkdir my_new_directory 

You can also create multiple directories at once by separating the names with spaces, like this:

bashCopy code
mkdir directory1 directory2 directory3 

If you want to create a new directory within an existing directory, you can specify the path to the new directory as follows:

bashCopy code
mkdir /path/to/new/directory 

This will create a new directory called "directory" inside the "new" directory, which is inside the "to" directory, which is inside the "path" directory.

It's important to note that you need sufficient permissions to create a new directory in a Linux environment. If you're not sure whether you have the necessary permissions, you can use the "ls -ld" command to check the permissions on the parent directory.
