    Understanding chmod and chown are foundational knowledge to actually being able to call oneself a “Linux user”. Great video!

      I gotcha, sudo chmod -R 777 /*, where we’re going we don’t need permission.

        Careful! This is very dangerous, you should instead do

        sudo chown -R user:user /*
        

        Where “user” is your username, and then do

        chmod -R 770 /*
        

        This will make sure that only your user has all the access!

        (Don’t do this)
