    So I pretty much finished typing a hello world program and saved it on my desktop as a text file. How do I use the gcc command to compile my program.

    I've used this and I get an error.

    gcc -Wall -o Hello Hello.c

    This is my error here:
    gcc: Hello.c: No such file or directory

    Also, Linux is case sensitive about filenames.
