 During the compiling process there will be times when the path of a file or folder is needed for a Terminal command. One easy GUI short cut is to right click on the file or folder to pull up an option list. Find the option 'Copy Path(s)' and click on it. The path of the file or folder will be copied. Next, in the Terminal, click on 'Edit' at the top of the Terminal window and then click on 'Paste' in order to past the link into the Terminal. See the screen shot to the left.

+The SD card performs well for common computer tasks and running FlightGear. However, compiling large programs could wear out the SD card before it's time. This is an excellent application for a SSD drive. Especially if many compiled versions of FlightGear are planned. For that reason this Wiki will choose to compile and install FlightGear on a [[Howto:Build_and_run_FlightGear_on_Raspberry_Pi_4#Hard_Drives|SSD drive]].
+This is a good time to create some needed folders on the SSD. For this Wiki the folder 'FlightGear' was created in the root of the SSD. Within this newly created folder 'FlightGear', create two more folders named 'fg-install' and 'source'. Use your favorite method to navigate and create folders, whether it be the Terminal or GUI. Furthuremore, these files can have other names as long as those other names are globally used.
