How to create a file

Here, we create a Jupyter notebook file.

Note: You cannot create files in the parent home directory.

Using the terminal

1. Open the terminal and go to the directory where you want to create the file, e.g.,

     cd /home/<username>
   

2. Create the file.

     touch filename.ipynb
   

Using the UI

1. Click on the menu icon, then go to File -> New File. Refer to Fig. 1.
