In the Linux system, there are several ways to access the command line interface (also known as terminal or console):

  1. Use the shortcut key: pressing Ctrl+Alt+T can quickly open a terminal window.
  2. To locate the terminal in the application menu: Click on the application menu, then type “Terminal” or “终端” in the search box, and select the terminal application to open.
  3. To open using the command line: press Ctrl+Alt+F1~F6 to switch to a virtual terminal, then log in to your system account to enter the command line interface.
