How to open a folder in linux via terminal? [closed]

Solution 1:

If you want to open the folder via the nautilus file manager, you can move to the wanted directory like you've mentioned cd /root/dir/ , check the folders under that path using ls and then if you want to open folder1 type:

nautilus folder1

Solution 2:

./ is used to execute file (Not to open directory).

(In)CLI Method: You can open folder in terminal by cd folder1 or dir folder1 or ls folder1.

(To)GUI Method: If you want to open with file-manager (ex:nautilus) then typenautilus folder1 (for Ubuntu nautilus is default file-manager)

Solution 3:

I have found that simply typing gnome-open "any-oject" opens any folder or file in the default program on Ubuntu. If this happens to be a folder, it uses your default folder-explorer :)
