    And I have no idea what that means.

    How do you reboot? You click start>power>reboot.

    I know what that means.

    Ask me to compile a script? Uhhhhh…

      The code is your ingredients, you put the ingredients together, then bake it (compile). When it’s done you have a pie (a program you can execute and run).

      Open terminal > cd (command to change directory) into the directory where the code is that you want to compile > then run the compiler

      In rust I would CD into the directory that I have written my code in. Let’s say user/rust/projects/example1 with the command:

      cd user/rust/projects/example1

      Now every command I type will be executed on that directory. The tool I use is called “cargo” the command to compile is “build”.

      So with that information I type:

      cargo build

      While being in user/rust/projects/example1 and when I did everything right my Programm will compile and the result of that can be found in a folder in that project. Something like:

      user/rust/projects/example1/build/prod

      Hope that helps to give a overview of how the process is supposed to go when everything works without a problem.
