How to reach my desktop directory from Ubuntu Bash. (my c/ drive) [duplicate]
I am a super newbie for Ubuntu and basically need Ubuntu for a Python package.
I would like to run a Python file in say e:/username/folder1/folder2/python.py
. I tried every method online and the only reply is bash: cd./e: No such file or directory
. I am not sure whether it is because of the bash windows or virtualenv.
When I use bash on Ubuntu on Windows, ls
, it says VIRTUALENV_DIR
. cd
, it says /home/username
. The cd ..
etc changes the directory a little, but not another drive, nor the folder I would like it to find.
WSL stores your Windows drives in the /mnt
folder, with the name of the drive as a subfolder. For example your C:\
drive will be present at /mnt/c/
for you to use.
Keeping this in mind, you can swap to your specific folder like so:
cd /mnt/e/username/folder1/folder2
In windows explorer, navigate to e:/username/folder1/folder2/
,
type bash
and press Enter in the address bar, a bash
window with path in e:/username/folder1/folder2/
will appear.
This also work with command cmd
.
