6,218 PointsThe "sudo adduser" appears to be throwing an error of "sudo: adduser: command not found". What might be the issue?
I did not execute the first command as I believed it was specific to the treehouse console.

6,693 PointsIf you want to use a linux terminal seperate from your treehouse, I have used cloud 9. Also digital ocean is an option. These services give you a linux virtual machine with a console. Cloud 9 runs ubuntu linux, while digital ocean gives you a choice of many OS to choose from. Cloud 9 also comes with an IDE and a lot of other developer tools.

If you're on some other system, that may not be an available command.
