How to create symbolic links in Ubuntu?

To create a symbolic link on Ubuntu, you can use the ln command. Symbolic links, also known as symlinks, are links that point to another file or directory.

To create a symbolic link, you can use the following command format:

ln -s <目标文件或目录> <链接文件或目录>

To create a symbolic link to the directory /usr/local/bin in the current directory, you can use the following command:

ln -s /usr/local/bin link_name

This will create a symbolic link named link_name that points to the /usr/local/bin directory.

To create a symbolic link to a file, you can use the same command format. For example, to create a symbolic link to the file /home/user/file.txt in the current directory, you can use the following command:

ln -s /home/user/file.txt link_name

This will create a symbolic link named link_name that points to the file.txt file in /home/user.

Please note that creating a symbolic link requires administrative permission. If you do not have sufficient privileges, you may need to use the sudo command to execute the above command.
