Linux Basics: How To Find Size of Directory Commands
================================================================================
This is the first in a series of posts in coming where I’ll be writing about some **basic commands** that that will be of good use to new users.
**Note**: This is targeted at people little or no command line experience..
> How can I as a new user to Linux display directory properties from the terminal?
### Requirements ###
The only requirement is the **du** command line tool. du comes with almost every Linux distro by default.
Check if du it’s on your system by running the command below in the terminal:
man du
**du** command estimates file space usage
### Using du ###
Running du with no flag displays names of all directories including sub-directories and sizes in bytes.
du

Using the **-h** flag displays the sizes in human readable format, that is **K, M** and **G** representing **Kilobyte, Megabyte** and **Gigabyte** respectively.
du - h
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/du-h.png)
To view a specific directory indicate that after du and flag as shown below:
du -h Mapmaker
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/du-h-mapmaker.png)
Use -c to see grand **total** displayed:
du -ch
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/du-ch.png)
Use **-s** flag to display only grand total / disk space used for specific directories:
du -sh Mapmaker Sandbox
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Screenshot-07052014-093858-AM.png)
See man du for more flags and there uses
man du
![](http://180016988.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/man-du.png)
Knows other combinations of du? Share with myself and others here too.
