How does symlinking work in linux
I installed django framework and going through the documentation I was instructed to run the django-admin.py but threw an error:
Command not found
I was Instructed in the documentation to try symlinking to django-admin.py from some place on my path such as
/usr/local/bin
which has left me totally confused because I'm kind of new to linux
A symlink is a symbolic link . What you're doing is telling the operating system that, when a request comes in for path x, to treat it as path y.
So, if django wants a file at '/expected/path/to/file', but the file is really at '/actual/path', you would build the symlink so that request to the first are instead fulfilled by going to the second. The syntax would be:
ln -s /actual/path/to/file /expected/path/to/file
otherwise broken down as link command, symbolic option, target path, symbolic path.
