This section provides a tutorial example on how to use the GNOME application 'Terminal' to run commands interactively.

"Terminal" is a GNOME application that allows you to run commands interactively in a shell interface.

Double-click on "Terminal" on the application launch screen (All tab) to open the "Terminal" application.

You can now type in commands to run them on your Ubuntu computer:

herong$ who 
herong   :0           2025-12-14 14:27 (:0)
herong   pts/3        2025-12-23 09:44 (tmux(28757).%0)
herong   pts/7        2025-12-24 12:12 (tmux(28757).%1)

herong$ free

By default, you need to use Shift-Ctrl-C and Shift-Ctrl-V to copy and paste text in Terminal windows. But you can change them in "Terminal > Preferences > Shortcuts".
