How to create a symbolic link on a folder in Ubuntu

A symbolic link is done by using the link, ln, command in the terminal.

The -s flag is used to indicate a symbolic link.

At the prompt, type:

sudo ln -s /path/to/original/folder  /new/path
enter system password

the /new/path excludes the name of the destination folder because it will be created from the command.
