How to paste a line at a time?

How do you paste code 'one line at a time' in the command line?

  • I'm trying to make a wifi driver work and the instructions say to paste the code one line at a time. Does this mean hit enter after each line? How do I move down a line? When I paste the first line and hit enter, I get: Unable to locate package. I am trying to enter four lines of text to make the code work: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` cd Downloads/rtl8187L_linux_1041.0209.2012 make sudo make install Sorry but I couldn't find any explanation for how to do this.

  • Answer:

    In order to install the necessary prequisites, build-essential amd linx-headers-uname -r it is necessary to have a working internet connection. Please be sure the ethernet is connected and working. Please type in the terminal: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` Those tickmarks are on the left side of my US keyboard on the same key with ~. Press Enter and let the download and install finish. Now type: cd ~/Downloads/rtl8187L_linux_1041.0209.2012 Press Enter. Now type: make 'make' will take a few moments, please be patient. If it ends in an error, stop as all further steps will also be in error. Post the error here so we may assist. If it finished without error (warnings are probably OK), type in: sudo make install Give your password when prompted.

Instead of that we have one more way also , placing the total code in one single line with proper format , sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` ; cd Downloads/rtl8187L_linux_1041.0209.2012 ; make ; sudo make install
