Operating system-dependent notation

This book uses the Windows convention for environment variables and directory notation.

When using the UNIX(R) command line you should do the following:

Environment variables
First verify the correct value for the UNIX variable name, as many Windows and UNIX variables that perform the same task have different names (for example, %TEMP% in Windows is equivalent to $tmp in UNIX). Then replace %Windows_variable% with $UNIX_variable
File and directory paths
Replace each backslash ( \ ) with a forward slash ( / ).
Note:
If you are using the bash shell on a Windows computer, you can use the UNIX conventions.
